Sciatica is a very common condition that is caused by compression of nerves in the lumbar spine and surrounding areas. There are many different causes of sciatica, including herniated discs and even tumors. Sciatica is especially common during pregnancy and after childbirth in women. By understanding the signs and symptoms of sciatica, along with the potential treatment options, it's possible to prevent this condition from having a major impact on your life. Here at Kilian Chiropractic, we specialize in the treatment of conditions such as sciatica and are here to help you.
There are many different symptoms that are commonly associated with sciatica. For example, many people who suffer from this condition suffer from leg pains, cramping, and even back pain. The severity of these symptoms can vary greatly, as can the frequency of these symptoms. For example, some people may go through periods of time where they aren't affected by their sciatica, or the symptoms may only manifest themselves when the person sneezes, coughs, or makes other sudden motions with the body. Either way, if you're suffering from these kinds of symptoms, including a sharp and stabbing pain in the lower back, it's important to see a doctor as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis.
If you're diagnosed with sciatica, the good news is that the prognosis for most people is pretty good. There are a number of great treatment options available depending on the severity of your discomfort and the extent of the condition. Ice/cold therapy and ultrasounds are both potential treatment options to discuss with your doctor, though you may also want to speak with a chiropractor about the possibility of exploring spinal adjustments as a form of treatment.
Here at Kilian Chiropractic, we can help you determine if chiropractic care is a viable treatment option for your sciatica. To schedule an appointment or to find out more about our practice, feel free to give Kilian Chiropractic a call at 604-688-0724.
How would your life improve without the pain of sciatica?
Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body that can become pinched due to injuries or illness. When the sciatic nerve is pinched, it causes pain to radiate from the lower back to the buttocks, legs and feet.
If you're looking for a natural, non-invasive treatment to get relief from sciatica, visit your chiropractor for various treatments and services.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal disorder that includes symptoms of pain, mood disorders and fatigue. Because fibromyalgia is a condition made up of a wide range of symptoms, it can often be misdiagnosed or overlooked.
For those looking for relief from fibromyalgia symptoms, an integrative approach to pain management can be beneficial. Chiropractic treatments can help alleviate pain, relieve stress and increase your range of motion to gain back your autonomy.
Headaches and Migraines
The cause behind headaches or migraines is often challenging to pinpoint, as sometimes they can seemingly arise out of nowhere. Spinal manipulation can help with tension headaches that originate in the neck.
Forget masking the symptom of headaches with medications that bring on a host of side-effects and take a more holistic approach to your pain management.
Back and Neck Pain
Neck and back pain can put a wrench in your daily life. Get neck and back pain relief without medication, using our chiropractic treatments and massage therapy. Early detection and treatment often mean a shorter rehabilitation process, allowing you to return to your routine sooner.
