3 Ways Chiropractic can fix your Sciatica
Sciatica is when your ‘sciatic nerve’ gets squashed somewhere between your spine and your leg . This can occur as a result of a spinal disc bulge or herniation, from misalignment of the vertebrae, or as a result of degenerated discs that can reduce the diameter of the hole through which nerve roots exit your spine. Chiropractic Care addresses this problem in a variety of ways.
1. Adjusting your lower back:
A Chiropractic adjustment normalises joint function and can remove factors contributing to sciatic pain, such as soft nerve compression, referred pain, disc pain and postural pain syndromes.
2. Relaxing tight Gluteal and Piriformis Muscles:
Your sciatic nerve can get compressed between tight muscles as it weaves between them to go down and supply your leg. Relaxing these muscles can take the pressure off the nerve and reduce your pain
3. Providing postural and stretching exercises for you to do:
Finding out the cause of your issue and removing it is essential, and most of the time, these are some stretches and postural change exercises that you can do to dramatically speed up your recovery.
