Sciatica

If you have ever felt a burning pain that shoots down from your lower back through one of your legs, you may have experienced sciatica. Sciatica is a common condition that affects many for many different reasons but everyone experiences a pain that can range from annoying to excruciating. You may find your leg or foot gets numb or feels tingly. You may even experience weakness in your lower body, making it difficult to move your leg or foot. Often, it is hard to get into a position that provides relief from the pain.

Thankfully, you might not have to suffer. Our chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic Center in Fayetteville, AR, has years of experience treating sciatica patients. Our goal is to find out the cause of your sciatica and then build a plan to help relieve that pain and give you back the quality of life you are looking for.

What Causes Sciatica

Many things can cause sciatica, including bone spurs and herniated discs, spinal stenosis, obesity (which puts stress on your spine), and potentially more.

Unfortunately, there are other causes that you might not expect. Expectant mothers can experience sciatica as the baby grows and begins to press on your spine and other areas. Sometimes, your job can cause sciatica. People who carry heavy loads that require them to twist their backs, such as delivery people, are often at risk for sciatica. Also, people who drive for a living (like truck drivers) or office workers who sit at their desk all day can experience sciatica due to infrequent movement.

How Can a Chiropractor Provide Relief?

After we have done a limited exam to see what is causing the problem, we will develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue mobilization, and therapeutic exercises. Each of our techniques are drug-free and surgery-free. If at any point you feel any discomfort, just let the chiropractor know and we will make adjustments.
