Walnut Creek Sciatica Issues Helped With Chiropractic Therapy

By Maria Elena Zerna


Many people are suffering with back and leg pain that is indicative of sciatica. Often, it can be a challenge to determine the cause of the discomfort. Seeking help from a Walnut Creek chiropractor may be your answer for effective pain relief.

The sciatic nerve goes from the lower back down the buttock into the leg. When the nerve is compressed various symptoms occur along the length of it. Pain is typically referred so applying topical medication or massage therapy at the affected area will be ineffective.

When you visit the chiropractic practitioner you will be given a complete evaluation. Typically this will involve your medical history as well as your family, an assessment of any laboratory tests, and a physical exam. If necessary, the practitioner will send you for more tests. All information gathered will allow for a comprehensive evaluation to get to the source of your problem.

Once the evaluation is completed an individualized plan of therapy is designed that will address your particular need. Periodically the plan may need to be modified as level of progress and condition changes. Cause for pain should never be assumed since symptoms are often similar but the cause can be quit different.

The skilled professional will develop of plan for therapy that gets right to the source of your pain. There may be several reasons for your pain and the practitioner will work to identify what they are so that they can be addressed. Therapy may include spinal adjustments, massage, specifically designed exercises, lifestyle changes, improvements in posture, and sometimes changes in diet.

To prevent further injury and alleviate pain, it is best to see a professional as soon as you experience discomfort. Seeking this type of alternative care does not use invasive surgeries or drugs in therapy. Chiropractic care is an all natural way to resolve your pain, eliminate the problem, and prevent it from returning.
