Sciatica Pain in San Antonio TX

our chiropractic clinic helps sciatica pain

Sciatica is a frequent ailment that causes leg discomfort that extends from the back or buttocks. Many individuals seek out a San Antonio TX chiropractor to relieve sciatica pain, but few find lasting relief. Untreated sciatica can worsen, making daily chores difficult or impossible. This article will explain what sciatica is and how chiropractic treatment can help you overcome it.


THERAPY FOR SCIATICA IN San Antonio TX

Sciatica is a disorder that produces discomfort in the lower back, down the leg, and into the foot. It can cause weakness, tingling, and numbness in the leg and foot, making prolonged sitting and standing difficult. It commonly comes and goes throughout a person's life, producing pain and suffering. Untreated sciatica can lead to irreversible nerve damage.

Compression of the sciatic nerve, the body's longest nerve, causes the pain to go so far, up and down the legs and back. This nerve starts in the lumbar spine and travels down the leg to the ankle and foot. When the low back vertebrae are compressed, the sciatic nerve roots can get pinched and inflamed, causing discomfort and damage.


HOW DOES A DAMAGED SCIATIC NERVE HAPPEN?

Sciatica can be caused by several sources. Disc injuries and bulges are typical causes. The disc pushes on the nerve root, producing pain. Poor posture, frequent usage injuries, and accidents can cause disc injury. Sciatica is frequent when the spine is misaligned due to posture difficulties, pregnancy, or trauma. Some patients claim they felt tremendous agony when they leaned over to pick up a piece of paper. In actuality, the spinal problem probably developed long before the triggering event.


CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT AND SCIATICA

Chiropractors in San Antonio TX are highly trained to identify the root of sciatica and consult with patients to choose the best treatment plan. Gentle changes are performed after a comprehensive examination of the individual's situation.

Some people heal fast while others take longer. It all depends on the disc or joints that the chiropractor needs to adjust. The longer an issue lingers, the more difficult it is to resolve. The good news is that fixing such a problem usually takes less time than causing it. Patients generally report better overall health after improving spine and disc posture.
