Let Dr. Charmaine Magale of Active Life Team Chiropractic handle your sciatica treatments in Sacramento, CA.
What Is Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve is responsible for leg movements and sensing stimuli in the lower half of the body. Since the sciatic nerve is in charge of essential functions, any injury that can damage or compromise the functions of your sciatic nerve should be addressed immediately. Sciatica is one of the conditions that should always be a priority.
Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down your leg. Herniated discs and bone spurs found near your sciatic nerve roots can compress it and cause persistent irritation. The irritation may eventually cause significant nerve damage. Inflammation in pelvic muscles could also pinch the sciatic nerve.
Chronic pain is the main symptom caused by sciatica. You may feel a sharp and burning pain travel from your back down to your leg. Usually, only one sciatic nerve is pinched at a time, so pain is only felt on one side of the body.
Other symptoms associated with sciatica include numbness, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness. If sciatica progresses, it can compromise the mobility of your legs. You may even find yourself struggling with bowel and bladder issues.
Address your sciatica as soon as possible by seeking treatment from a reputable chiropractor. Entrust your sciatica treatments in Sacramento, CA, to Dr. Magale of Active Life Team Chiropractic.
What Sciatica Treatments Can Your Chiropractor Provide?
You can count on your chiropractor to treat the underlying cause of your condition as well as the symptoms.
Chiropractic adjustments are among the best treatment solutions for sciatica. Your chiropractor can alter the position of the herniated disc or joint responsible for your condition. The sciatic nerve can start healing once the thing that was impinging it is removed.
Your chiropractor can also teach you strength and flexibility exercises so you can improve your chances of avoiding sciatica down the line. Strength and flexibility exercises can protect you from sciatica by making the spinal column and pelvic muscles more resilient to damage, and therefore, less likely to be inflamed or dislocated.
