San Antonio Sciatica Pain Helped With Chiropractic Therapy

By Griselda Zerna Albao


If you are experiencing low back pain, life may not be much fun. In fact, lower back problems can sometimes worsen and can affect your legs and feet too. When this occurs, it may be caused by a condition known as "sciatica" and your San Antonio chiropractor can help you with this kind of problem, with safe and natural therapy.

Sciatica means your sciatic nerve does not work properly. This often happens when the nerve is impinged or irritated. Nerves are necessary for just about every kind of bodily function. For example, to move the hands, the brain sends impulses to the muscles and tendons which operate the hands.

Nerves are communication lines that the brain uses to operate your body and when one of these nerves becomes irritated or impinged, it can malfunction. For example, the biggest nerve in your body is the sciatic nerve and it takes care of functions in the legs. When this nerve is impinged, it lets you know by causing a variety of pain sensation along the nerve pathways.

A sciatic nerve problem can cause your back to hurt but it also may cause pain in the buttocks or down the thighs. Pain may even extend to the feet and this make can take many forms. Some types of nerve pain may cause you to lose sensation and numbness sets in. You may feel burning sensations or feelings of electric shock also.

If you think sciatica may be your problem, you can make an appointment to your chiropractic doctor. He will examine you to determine where the pain is originating and it could in the spine or a muscle problem. With the help of modern testing equipment, you will know why you are in pain.

With the help of chiropractic therapy options like ultrasound, massage, physiotherapy, and chiropractic adjustment, pressure can be relieved on impinged nerves and you may begin the process of healing. After several sessions with your chiropractor, pain may lessen and subside.
