This Post is All About Treatments That Work for Sciatica
Therefore, I won’t bore you with passages about the anatomy of the sciatic nerve or what causes it, because frankly, I’m sure you already Googled that. If not, read this to catch up. Then come back here.
The Primary Reason You Have Sciatic Nerve Symptoms is Inflammation
The nerve was stretched or compressed or otherwise irritated in some way. Then the nerve swells and becomes inflamed. Now every time you stretch the nerve like straightening out your leg or bending at the waist, the nerve sends out a terrible pain message. For some, it is the worst imaginable pain.
Because the nerve is swollen, it cannot slide easily in areas where there are joints. So at the lower back, in the butt and hips, behind the knee and even in the ankle. Unquestionably, these are the points where the nerve gets stuck and movement hurts.
So What is the Treatment for Sciatic Nerve Pain? Chiropractic.
Now hang on for a moment. I know what you’re thinking. Obviously, you’re thinking “if I can’t even walk or straighten out my leg without excruciating pain, there’s no way I’m letting anyone fold me like a pretzel and crack my back!!!’
And you’d be right. Someone with acute sciatica may not be a good candidate for a vigorous spinal adjustment. However, what you may not realize is some chiropractors do more than just “crack backs.” In addition to traditional chiropractic adjustments some Doctors of Chiropractic provide physiotherapy modalities to help ease inflammation and pain. Specifically, these include:
Heat and Ice
Yes, good old heat and ice are very effective at relieving inflammation. And in combination, they are even better.
Electrical Nerve Stimulation
“Friendly” electrical currents can be pulsed through the nerve to help move fluids within the nerve to relieve inflammation. These external pulses can also tell the nerve to stop firing off pain messages providing relief.
Cold Laser Therapy and LED Therapy
These are “light therapies” that have specific photonic energy that helps your body’s own natural healing powers to remove inflammation and relieve pain.
Sciatic Nerve Exercises
Depending on how severe the sciatica symptoms are, your doctor will guide you through movements specifically designed to get the nerve unstuck in the cramped joint areas. Obviously, these movements are done very gently and to your tolerance.
