Sciatica is a common and debilitating condition that can cause pain and discomfort along the sciatic nerve pathway, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. At Align Health, we understand the impact of sciatica on your daily life, and our compassionate team of healthcare professionals is committed to providing effective solutions to alleviate your pain and restore comfort and mobility.
Understanding Sciatica:
Sciatica is not a medical condition itself but a symptom of an underlying issue, often resulting from compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Common causes of sciatica include:
Herniated Disc: A bulging or herniated disc in the lumbar spine can press on the sciatic nerve, causing symptoms.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress the nerve roots, leading to sciatica.
Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness or spasms of the piriformis muscle in the buttocks can irritate the sciatic nerve.
Degenerative Disc Disease: The natural aging process can cause the discs to degenerate, putting pressure on the nerve roots.
Our Approach to Relief:
At Align Health, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to diagnose and treat sciatica. Our experienced healthcare providers will conduct a thorough evaluation, considering your medical history and lifestyle, to identify the root cause of your sciatic pain. Based on the diagnosis, we will create a tailored treatment plan that may include:
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help realign the spine and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the core and lower back muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
Spinal Decompression: This non-surgical treatment can relieve pressure on the nerves and discs in the lumbar spine.
Massage Therapy: Targeted massage can help release tension in the affected areas and promote healing.
Pain Management: Techniques like heat or cold therapy may be used to provide immediate relief during flare-ups.
