Many patients seek out chiropractic care to find relief from sciatic pain. Sciatica, though frequently talked about, isn’t as common as you might think. Regardless, those suffering from sciatic pain will do just about anything to find relief! Here’s what you need to know.

You’ve probably heard this term before, but a disc can’t actually slip though it can herniate, bulge, or rupture which results in direct pressure on the nearby sciatic nerves.
What’s the result, you ask? Inflammation, swelling, and pain. Depending on where exactly the sciatic nerve is affected, pain may radiate all the way down to your toes!
Sciatic pain can have a serious impact on how well you feel, but it rarely produces permanent nerve damage, especially if you seek chiropractic treatment upon noticing the symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments are a natural, effective, and safe way to relieve sciatic pain along with non-surgical spinal decompression. Both of these treatment options help restore the proper relationship between your discs, bones, and nerves which will help your body restore itself naturally.
