Chiropractic Care for Sciatica in Arlington TX
The pain from sciatica can be debilitating. It’s one of the most common conditions that prompts people to seek immediate chiropractic care for pain relief, and if you’ve experienced it, you know precisely why!
Sciatica is an excruciating condition that is typically characterized by radiating pain from the lower back into the pelvis, down the leg, and even into the foot and toes. This pain is usually accompanied by tingling, numbness, weakness, and other abnormal sensations.
It can make normal, daily activities like sleeping, getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, putting your shoes on, and even walking seem impossible.
Finding the Root Cause
There are a few different causes of sciatic nerve root inflammation, and it is crucial to identify in each case what the cause is so that we can help practice members recover as fast and as completely as possible!
The first thing we do in our office is identify where the nerve is being compressed and inflamed along that pathway. We conduct a series of lumbar spine and pelvis X-rays so that we can visualize and measure, down to the millimeter, all six of the joint spaces, discs, vertebral bodies, spinal cord space, and spinal curves along the spinal nerve root pathways. These make up the sciatic nerve bundle that travels down the leg.
The next step is to measure the stress and inflammation in each spinal nerve root to identify if the sciatic case is mild, moderate, or severe. We use state of the art INSiGHT™ scanning technologies to perform a full neuro-spinal scan, which identifies the areas of stress and inflammation throughout your entire spine.
Beginning Your Treatment
Following our in-depth exam and scans, we can provide our practice members with precise chiropractic adjustments to correct the underlying cause of the sciatic nerve compression, inflammation, and dysfunction.
We also have several tools in our office that we use alongside chiropractic adjustments, such as instruments to help correct irregular curves in your spine or misaligned vertebrae that need a little more than a hands-on chiropractic adjustment. Our chiropractors will also use the flexion-distraction technique and the StemWave™ machine.
The flexion-distraction table assists by decompressing any discs in your lumbar spine or sacrum, causing nerve root compression, stretching your lower back, minimizing disc herniations, and restoring proper motion in each segment of your spine.
