Sciatica Pain Relief in Centennial
As a highly common condition that affects upward of 40 percent of people at some point in their lifetime, sciatica is characterized by the impingement of the sciatic nerve. Those who suffer from sciatica often experience persistent burning pain that travels from the glutes down the back of the leg.
This discomfort intensifies during prolonged sitting, standing, or physical activity periods. Contributing factors to sciatica include poor posture and accumulated stress, leading to muscle imbalances and nerve compression.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic adjustments play a major role in managing sciatica by addressing nervous system dysfunctions, reducing muscle tension, and alleviating inflammation. These adjustments aim to minimize stress around the hip and glute muscles, which often contribute to nerve impingement. Chiropractic care promotes overall mobility and facilitates the body’s natural healing process by restoring proper alignment and function.
Nerve Flossing and Mobility Exercises
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Ryan provides specific therapeutic techniques, such as nerve flossing, which are exercises that gently mobilize the nerves. “So a lot of mobility work goes along with sciatica. We give clients homework to help restore motion and allow the body to start healing itself,” he said.
Providing Tailored Treatment
While many clients get positive results from chiropractic care and other therapeutic techniques here at the practice, sometimes there are situations where other interventions are needed.
For example, if a disc issue puts a lot of consistent pressure on the nerve, something other than chiropractic may be warranted. However, if a soft tissue adhesion or hip mobility issue is the source of sciatica, we can get great results for the client.
