Sciatica is a specific type of back pain that originates from issues with the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. The condition often manifests as sharp pain, numbness, or tingling sensations radiating down one side of the body. Though it usually affects only one side, the discomfort can be debilitating, affecting your ability to perform everyday activities.
Sciatica can be triggered by a variety of underlying conditions, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or even muscle tightness in the pelvic region. Regardless of the root cause, immediate and effective sciatica pain relief and treatment is crucial for relieving symptoms and preventing further complications.
Our expert chiropractors in Manchester and Amherst, MA are highly skilled in diagnosing the underlying causes of sciatica and creating personalized treatment plans that focus on long-term relief. Through a combination of spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and lifestyle recommendations, we aim to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve and address the root cause of your discomfort.
Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective sciatica pain relief and treatment. We use state-of-the-art imaging techniques and comprehensive physical examinations to pinpoint the source of your sciatic pain. This helps us tailor our chiropractic interventions to your unique needs, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment.
Unlike invasive surgeries or medications that may only provide temporary relief, chiropractic care focuses on resolving the underlying issue causing your sciatica. Our non-surgical, drug-free approaches aim to correct spinal misalignments and alleviate muscle tension, providing a holistic solution to your back pain and sciatica symptoms.
We believe that ongoing care is essential for lasting relief. Post-treatment, our team will work with you to develop an at-home care regimen, including stretches and exercises designed to strengthen your back and lower body. These can prevent future flare-ups and maintain spinal health, giving you the freedom to enjoy life without the burden of back pain.
