Sciatica Treatments

Sciatica is a common discomforting ailment treated by chiropractors. Chiropractors are health care practitioners skilled in chiropractic-a medical procedure that involves the use of one’s hands or a hand-held instrument to monitor the movement of the skeletal structures of the body in order to improve the function of the joints and entire nervous system.

Sciatica is a very painful condition. The pain originates from the lower back/lumbar region or buttock and goes all the way down through one or both legs. The nerve pain from this condition may vary in intensity and time frame. Sometimes it could be too mild while other times it becomes unbearably severe.

The pain may be intermittent, lasting a few minutes, while other times, it could persist for long duration’s, from a few days to several weeks.

Sciatic pain may come in many different variants. It could be mild, achy, sharp or in pin and needle-like discomfort, that is similar to both toothaches and electric shocks.

Sciatica may also come in form of burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatica is not really a disease but it is actually a symptom of a disease. That is to say that sciatica manifests as a pointer to other disorders or disease conditions, and cannot be classified as a “stand-alone” disease.

Other synonyms that are indicative of sciatica include radiating or referred pain, neuropathy and neuralgia.
