You have the option to explore non-invasive chiropractic treatment and therapy. Do not let the pain of sciatica prevent you from living a full and active life.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica most often occurs when a condition arises in the spine that puts pressure on part of the sciatic nerve. This causes inflammation, pain, and often numbness in the affected leg. Pain from sciatica varies. It could be slight discomfort or sometimes described as shooting, excruciating pain throughout the hip, thigh, leg, and even into the foot. Many patients say that the pain and numbness prevent them from living the life they want.

Sciatica is one of the most frustrating conditions to live with because you never know what will trigger a return. It might be something as simple as reaching up to turn off a lamp or bending over to pick up something. The reality is that sciatica, like most spinal conditions, develops over the years of time.

Because back pain is often the first sign of sciatica it is what drives a person to seek help. Over-the-counter pain relievers and drugs can be effective in reducing some pain, but this strategy generally masks the pain instead of correcting or healing it. Then, as the condition worsens, pain reoccurs more in frequency and severity until it is properly treated.

The Treatment for Sciatica

The area of the spine affected is one of the most complex areas in the body and it is difficult to identify the exact location of the problem. Because chiropractors specialize in this area of the body, they are experts in getting to the core of the problem. The MDR Medical Associates team will begin with a health inventory and x-rays as they work with you to zero in on the source and make a treatment care plan.

Treatment and chiropractic care duration vary significantly from patient to patient. It really depends on the level of the condition of the disc or the joints that a chiropractor must correct. Generally, the longer the condition exists, the longer it will take to correct it. The good news, however, is that it typically takes less time to fix an issue like this than it took to create it.

The number of American patients having back surgery for sciatica and the low success rate is disappointing. It is estimated that back surgery is only about 15% effective within a five-year period. Upon consideration, you would likely agree those results are not good enough for you.

If you suffer from sciatica, and are serious about getting to the root of the problem in order to eliminate it, schedule a consultation with MDR Advanced Medical Associates. The team here in Boynton Beach wants to tell you that relief is available, and you can return to your normal pain-free life. There is no time like the present to start feeling and living better.
