When sciatica strikes consult a chiro

Sciatica Treatment in Manchester

When lower back pain becomes sciatica,it is because there is pressure on the sciatic nerve often caused by a herniated disk, resulting in pain radiating down through the buttock into one leg and bringing not only pain, but often the sensations of weakness, numbness, or tingling. Consulting one of the chiropractors at this Manchester chiropractic clinic, is the choice for many who experience this condition. Following the initial consultation and Report of Findings by your experienced Manchester chiropractor, you will be offered a spinal adjustment to rectify the misalignment.This is found by many clients to be the best form of treatment for sciatica and one that these practitioners know can be immediately beneficial for their patient. By locating the precise point where the nerve is under compression,they can free the affected nerve with chiropractic adjustments and realign the spine, releasing pressure and giving the area the chance to heal from the inflammation which was also contributing to the discomfort.

Pain can generally begin in the lower back, but as the sciatic nerve travels from the back of the pelvis and the lower spinal cord down the back of the legs, anything putting pressure on this large bundle of nerves will have an effect which travels down one leg and even as far as the foot. What triggers sciatica may be different from one person to another, but may be due to an injury, heavy lifting, or simply due to age related wear and tear. This is a common complaint treated by chiropractors in Manchester.

By adjusting the spine to its optimum position, not only is the pain released, but the client will have improved function and taken a step towards full mobility. Seeking the expertise of one of the chiros in Manchester at this clinic you can improve the condition far more quickly that just by rest and medication.

My GP says I have sciatica and the painkillers prescribed are upsetting my stomach. Can chiro help me with the pain without pain-killers?

Yes, your chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractors can help relieve your sciatic nerve pain by using a variety of techniques to relieve the pain, including adjustment to open up the compression between the vertebrae that is putting pressure on the nerve and afterwards with follow-up exercises.

I have been suffering with lower back pain, now it is worse with pain in my buttock and down one leg. What has gone wrong?

Your chiropractor will offer a full consultation and examine you, but you pain sounds like sciatica – the result of pressure on the sciatic nerve. This can be relieved by spinal adjustment through manipulation by your chiropractor.

I am feeling numbness, tingling and on bad days a weakness in my knees or legs. Will this be better after rest or do I need treatment?

With symptoms such as you mention, the longer it is left untreated, the greater the time that will be required for the numbness and weakness to go away. In fact, there is the possibility that they may become permanent. Chiropractic treatment will help you.
