Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which extends from your lower back down through your hips and buttocks and into each leg. It typically results from a herniated disc or spinal stenosis pressing on the nerve. Sciatica can cause sharp pain, tingling, or numbness, and it can severely impact your quality of life. Chiropractic treatment can be a highly effective solution for managing and relieving sciatica pain.
Causes of Sciatica Treated by Chiropractic Care
The most common causes of sciatica that Dr Roshan Jha treats include:
- Herniated Discs: Pressure on the sciatic nerve from a slipped disc is the most common cause.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can lead to nerve compression.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: The wear and tear on the discs between your vertebrae can cause pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Spondylolisthesis: A condition where a vertebra slips out of place and pinches the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractic Adjustments for Sciatica
Dr Roshan Jha uses the following chiropractic treatments to relieve sciatica:
- Spinal Adjustments: Realigning the spine to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Using specialized equipment to gently stretch the spine and relieve nerve pressure.
- Physical Therapy Exercises: Targeted exercises to strengthen the back and improve mobility.
- Cold and Heat Therapy: To reduce inflammation and provide immediate relief.
