Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief Near Me
Sciatic nerve pain relief starts with finding out what is irritating the nerve. Herring Chiropractic Clinic in Tallassee, AL starts with a free consultation, an exam and a plain explanation of what the doctor finds.
Why sciatic nerve pain travels so far
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. It starts in the lumbar spine, passes through the buttock and runs down the leg to the foot. When a disc presses on a nerve root or the joints in the low back are irritated, the pain can show up far from the spine, in the hip, thigh, calf or foot.
Things that often come before sciatic pain
- Disc injuries and bulges
- Poor posture and repetitive use
- Pregnancy
- Falls, accidents or other trauma
- Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
Many people say they only bent over to pick something up when the pain hit. The spinal issue has usually been building for a while before that moment.
How we approach sciatic nerve pain relief
The doctor works to find the source of the problem rather than chase the symptom. After the exam, gentle adjustments are used to help the spine move back toward its natural alignment. Some people respond quickly and others take longer. It depends on the condition of the disc or joints involved, and a longer-standing problem usually takes longer to correct.
When to get checked soon
Do not wait if you have leg weakness that is getting worse, numbness that is spreading, or pain after a fall or accident. Book an exam, or seek emergency care if you lose control of your bladder or bowels.
