Your Chiropractor in Wichita Has Years of Experience Successfully Treating Sciatica
I am aware from over twenty years experience as a Chiropractor in Wichita assisting individuals suffering from sciatic pain that the condition can be extremely debilitating. Sciatica sufferers are regrettably all too familiar with the deep radiating pain that persists during the day and restricts almost all of their daily activities.
There is a way to determine if your low back pain is caused by sciatica. If your pain radiates from your low back, through one or both sides of your buttocks, down the large sciatic nerve in the back of one or both legs, and possibly penetrates into your knee(s), you probably have sciatica. Also, sitting, as well as movement, can be painful. Commonly lying down will lessen, or sometimes even temporarily get rid of the pain. However, it’s important for you to be aware that sciatica cannot be corrected without appropriate treatment.
Radiculopathy
A radiculopathy is a medical term that describes a condition where a disc has protruded from its normal position in the spine and is free cialis causing pressure on the radicular nerve, or nerve root, that forms part of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. This type of pressure can cause excruciating pain.
Added pressure on the intervertebral discs, as well as imbalances in the muscles surrounding the spine, can take place during and after long periods of sitting, specifically with bad posture. A particular event or injury isn’t commonly the cause of sciatica, but rather sciatica is likely to progress over time as a result of ordinary wear and tear on the structures of the lower spine. Over the course of time the lower spine can lose its normal functioning capabilities during ordinary stresses.
When this takes place, the intervertebral disc undergoes small fissures or cracks that then let the soft nucleus to protrude the disc outward. Pain is generated as the disc pushes on sensitive tissues. This condition is often referred to as a ruptured, or slipped, disc. Sciatica is the result of the disc pressing on the spinal nerve. With chiropractic manipulation and management, which usually includes postural exercises, most disc problems, including sciatica, can be completely relieved.
Periformis Syndrome
Periformis syndrome is another condition that results in sciatic pain. Periformis syndrome happens when the periformis muscle, for whatever reason, goes into spasm and irritates the sciatic nerve, which runs “deep to the muscle.” Along with chiropractic manipulation, this particular sciatica can be significantly relieved by sciatica stretches that your chiropractor will suggest.
If you are experiencing sciatic pain, it is crucial for you to seek chiropractic attention. If you are in the Wichita area, as your Wichita Chiropractor, I invite you to come in to see if I can get you out of pain and help you to get your life back!
