Ciática Tratamiento

Chiropractic care may help some patients with sciatica when symptoms are related to the lower back, discs, joints, irritated nerves, muscle tension, or movement problems. Sciatica can cause pain, burning, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels into the buttock or leg. Premier Chiropractic evaluates the source of the symptoms first, which may include orthopedic testing, neurological screening, range-of-motion testing, and any necessary X-rays when clinically appropriate. Care may include chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, rehabilitation, MLS laser therapy, and home-care guidance.

Those symptoms can happen when a nerve is irritated or compressed by a disc problem, joint restriction, inflammation, or surrounding muscle tension. An evaluation helps determine whether the pattern looks like sciatica and whether additional support such as decompression or rehabilitation may be appropriate.

Yes. Spinal decompression may help some patients when sciatica is related to disc pressure or nerve irritation. It is not the right fit for every case, which is why Premier Chiropractic starts with an exam before recommending decompression. X-rays may be taken when clinically appropriate to better understand spinal structure before recommending decompression.

Sciatica should be evaluated quickly when symptoms are severe, getting worse, traveling farther down the leg, or accompanied by increasing numbness, weakness, or major changes in function. Persistent radiating pain is a good reason to get checked sooner rather than later.
