STRUGGLING WITH SCIATICA?

The Role of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors consistently encounter sciatica as one of the most prevalent conditions each year. Millions of Americans endure the pain of sciatica, with very few finding long-term relief. Discover how chiropractic care in SH Gonstead Chiropractic can provide assistance.

Patients often describe sciatic pain as varying from mild discomfort to excruciating agony. The pain can manifest in different regions of the leg and foot, and it may come and go intermittently. Over time, individuals tend to experience periods of pain that intensify when the problem remains untreated.

WHERE DOES SCIATICA ORIGINATE?

Sciatic issues commonly stem from the pelvic and lumbar spine. These areas of the spine are intricate, making it challenging to pinpoint the problem. Some patients report experiencing extreme pain from simply bending over to pick up a piece of paper. They struggle to comprehend how such a simple task could cause such intense pain. What they fail to realize is that their condition likely developed over the course of several years, and bending to pick up the paper was merely the final trigger. With the exception of severe spinal problems, back issues do not occur overnight; they accumulate over years.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RESOLVE SCIATICA?

The duration of treatment can significantly vary from patient to patient, depending on the severity of the problem. Some individuals respond quickly, while others require more time to recover. It largely depends on the condition of the disc or joints that the chiropractor needs to address. In most cases, the longer the issue persists, the longer it will take to achieve correction. The encouraging news is that the resolution typically takes less time than the duration it took to develop.

In the United States, the number of individuals resorting to back surgery is staggering, and the low success rate is disheartening. It is estimated that back surgery is only approximately 15% effective within a five-year period. By consulting with a chiropractor, you can accurately identify the source of the problem and address it, hopefully without the need for invasive surgery. Subsequently, the chiropractor will work with you to improve the positioning of the spine and discs.
