Sciatica
What is Sciatica?
When sciatica strikes, it can seem as though minor everyday tasks have morphed into a frustrating series of tentative, calculated moves— all designed to try and avoid another lightning bolt of pain shooting down your leg. Sciatica is an equal-opportunity nuisance; whether you are always on the go or enjoy a more leisurely pace of life, sciatica doesn’t discriminate.
However, the ‘elephant in the room’ here is that sciatica is actually more of a description of irritation to your sciatic nerve; it doesn’t tell you much about the underlying cause. We are very experienced in dealing with both low back pain and sciatica, as they are definitely some of the most frequent symptoms we see!
So, for us, telling someone they have sciatica is a bit like saying, ‘Your computer has a virus’, it doesn’t really explain how you got the virus, what kind of impact it may have had on your hardware, your data, or how you can prevent it happening again.
That’s why at The Chiropractic Studio, we work with you to help you understand the ‘nuts and bolts’ of why your sciatic nerve has become irritated— so that you can build the knowledge and confidence to navigate the problem more effectively. For a deep dive into some of the causes of sciatica and back pain, check out our website blog, ‘Function & Flourish.’
What we provide is a tailored approach, unique to you and your habits, that puts you in the driving seat, aiming to get you back on track as swiftly as possible. We work together with you, providing hands-on treatment alongside helping you to build the tools you need to independently manage the symptoms of sciatica.
But don’t worry, we will always keep a careful eye on your progress! What’s more, if at any point we feel that our services are not quite right for you and your healthcare requirements, we will let you know right away and make sure we offer you some guidance as to your potential next steps— this also includes referring you for any specialist tests or imaging studies.
If what you’re looking for to help you manage your sciatic pain is a Chiropractor that will provide candid, straightforward, practical treatment designed around you— that’s what you’ve found here.
