Chiropractic care is a conservative, non-invasive and a drugless form of medical care. In fact, it is generally accepted that this kind of care should be done before any invasive procedure is pursued such as back surgery. It has also been well documented in being successful for conservative medical attention. Chiropractors are legendary in treating patients with back problems. We routinely diagnose and successfully treat back and leg pain. Whether you have a pinched nerve, muscle, ligament or tendon ailments that may be causing your pain, we will take the proper time to examine your back and leg pain to determine the exact source of your sciatic pain. Essentially, chiropractors help your body heal itself.
It is important to understand that sciatica is not an actual diagnosis but rather an underlying symptom of your problem. We will start by assessing the known five culprits (guilty parties) of the symptom sciatica. These five culprits include:
• Herniated disc problems
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing)
• Facet joint problems
• Nerve entrapment
• Presence of tumors, infection or metabolic complications
Therefore, our goal is to diagnose and treat you for that specific problem in a conservative way (non-invasively, no surgery). This involves active hands on care to return full motion to the spine by treating disc, joint and muscle problems. Spinal manipulations may include thrusting techniques, non-thrusting techniques, instrument-assisted therapies such as the Graston technique for muscle problems, trigger point therapy, stretching and resistance techniques, electrical stimulation, ultrasound as well as alignments. We want to return your back to its normal function. Our job doesn’t end there. We will also instruct you on how to keep your back healthy.
