Snellville Sciatica Pain Eased With Chiropractic Therapy

By Fernando Ketter


If you are suffering from frequent back pain your life may be very difficult at times. In fact, you might not be able to do simple things like sitting or standing without pain. Today, many people are dealing with a painful problem known as sciatica and your Snellville chiropractor can help you with this condition.

The word "sciatica" comes from the body's longest nerve, the sciatic nerve. This nerve serves the lower body and allows you to feel sensations in the lower back and legs. However, when problems with the sciatic nerve develop, your lower body could be racked with pain. This happens when the nerve has become injured or impinged.

Your spine is made up of several segments containing vertebrae and disks. This is what gives the back its flexibility and ability to move in all directions. However, the spinal column is not solid and inside is a channel for a large nervous system. These nerves serve all regions of the body and are protected by the spinal structure.

Walking upright can place a lot of pressure on one's spine and if there is an injury or unusual stress on the back, your spine can lose its natural alignment. Once that occurs, nerves in the spine may be impinged, causing irritation and a wide range of nerve pain symptoms may develop, with some being very painful.

An impinged sciatic nerve can make your back feel numb or painful. This pain may also be in the form of throbbing, stabbing sensations, or burning. The pain can sometimes be felt in the buttocks and thighs and even in the lower legs and feet. In addition, walking may be difficult and you may experience muscle spasms.

Sciatic pain can make it difficult to sleep or function and your chiropractic professional in Snellville has years of experience with sciatica issues. After a thorough examination, sciatica often responds well to chiropractic adjustment therapy to restore spinal alignment. After just a few sessions, pain often begins to subside naturally.
