Treatment for Sciatica in Basildon
Sciatica is a general term which describes pain that emanates from the lower back and radiates down the back of the leg, sometimes reaching the feet and toes. The severity can range from being a slight, niggling pain to very severe, debilitating pain that leaves the sufferer in agony. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include numbness, burning and tingling sensations. Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, and is a fairly common, recurring condition that usually affects one side of the body at a time and can get worse on each occasion. Fortunately, treatment for sciatica is effective and chiropractic treatment can help to relieve the pain and stimulate your body’s natural healing processes.
Before your doctor can plan a course of treatment for sciatica, they first need to determine the cause of the patient’s sciatica. There are many disorders that can cause sciatica, including misaligned vertebrae, slipped discs, pregnancy and childbirth, tumors, and other disorders that are not spine-related such as diabetes or constipation. Chiropractors regularly treat sciatica. To determine the correct plan for your treatment for sciatica, the doctor will take a full health history, conduct a thorough examination, then recommend an individual care programme.
Chiropractic treatment for sciatica is a drug-free, non-surgical approach which may include a number of different treatments including spinal adjustments and drug-free therapies to help reduce inflammation and pain, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Individual chiropractic treatment for sciatica is determined by the patient’s history and the cause of the patient’s sciatica.
