What Is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve is the largest in the human body, running from the lower back down the leg to the foot on each side. Sciatic nerve pain occurs when this nerve is compressed or irritated. For many, sciatic pain shoots down one leg at a time, even though it is possible for it to affect both sides of the body. Every person feels it differently. For some, sciatica is situational and only affects them when dealing with an acute (temporary) condition. For others, sciatica is chronic and ongoing.

Treatment Options for Pain Relief and Pain Management

One of the most positive benefits of chiropractic care is that it provides people with alternative options for pain relief. As sciatic pain can arise without warning and last for an indeterminate amount of time, viable long-term options for relieving the pain might be best when the initial treatment addresses the source. A chiropractor can help treat sciatica in various ways, including the following:

Acupuncture

One of the techniques to treat sciatic pain is acupuncture, an application that addresses pain points by utilizing fine needles to alleviate ailments. Acupuncture is widely known for being an effective treatment for countless conditions, including sciatica.

Massage Therapy

By applying controlled and methodical pressure to the lower back, massage therapy can be extremely helpful in helping reduce sciatic pain. Massaging the affected region of the body helps relax muscles, stimulate circulation, and reduce stress. These attributes all contribute to pain reduction and self-healing. It is, essentially, natural pain management for sciatic pain.
