Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
When you visit us, we will first perform a thorough evaluation to determine the root cause of your sciatica. Then, our chiropractor will create an individualized treatment plan for your specific needs.
Your care plan may consist of chiropractic adjustments, which help correct any misalignments that might be causing pain. We also sometimes combine the adjustments with massage therapy. In addition to reducing inflammation and improving circulation, utilizing the treatments together can help you heal faster. Our chiropractor may also prescribe stretches and exercises for you to perform at home to strengthen your back and ease your symptoms.
Each of our treatments are safe and non-invasive, which means medications and surgical procedures are not needed to help you recover. Even when you heal, you can visit us for maintenance care so we can address any small issues quickly and ensure that your spine is properly aligned.
