There Is Hope for Sciatica Sufferers

Do you experience a sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, often on one side? Or numbness, tingling, or a pins-and-needles sensation in your legs, feet, or toes? Perhaps you have weakness in your leg or have difficulty supporting weight. These are common symptoms of sciatica, which can sideline people from their daily activities and all the fun things they enjoy.

The Four Major Types

In a recent YouTube video, Dr. Quigley shares the four major types of sciatica: muscle spasm, arthritis, stenosis (severe arthritis), and disc herniation. The cure for sciatica lies in identifying the specific cause behind it. This is where expertise plays a crucial role, and Dr. Quigley emphasizes the significance of skilled professionals in addressing this issue effectively.

Getting to the Root Is the Key

Naturally, pain relief is a primary goal for many sufferers, but only addressing pain is taking a bandage approach. We can provide patients with long-term relief by addressing the root cause with precision and expertise. Dr. Quigley and his team do exactly that.

The Role of Chiropractic Care

Our chiropractors perform spinal manipulations and adjustments specifically directed at addressing sciatic pain. Because sciatica is typically caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, manual manipulations and spinal alignment are incredibly effective at resolving the pain by relieving the pressure on the nerve. By properly aligning the spinal column, patients can experience a reduction in the irritability and inflammation of the sciatic nerve, decreasing muscle spasms, pain, numbness, and other symptoms.
