Sciatica Treatment
Sciatica is a condition characterized by severe—sometimes excruciating—hip, leg, or back pain. While often mentioned in tandem
with piriformis syndrome, sciatica differs in that it is not caused by a
spasm or shortening of a muscle, but is the result of the compression of spinal
nerve roots. This compression could have a variety of causes, including a
slipped disc, the narrowing of the spinal canal, or a misaligned vertebra. This
condition may come on either suddenly or gradually and can vary widely in
severity from person to person. Regardless of how you are specifically
affected, it is vital to seek professional treatment for sciatica as soon as
possible in order to restore your quality of life. If you have been
experiencing severe back pain and you live in the Houston area, contact
the chiropractors at Clear Lake Chiropractic today for a professional
diagnosis. With proper sciatica treatment, a full recovery is possible.
We will begin your sciatica treatment by asking you questions
about your medical history and the details of your condition,
such as the location and nature of your pain. Then we will conduct a full
physical exam, which may include spinal analysis, X-rays, motion-based
tests, and more. After your diagnosis has been made, we will decide on the best
course of action based on your unique situation. Some sciatica treatment
options include:
- Traction
- Physical therapy exercises
- Spinal manipulation
In some severe cases, sciatica pain relief may require additional
medical attention, such as surgery. Clear Lake Chiropractic will gladly provide
referrals to well-respected local specialists if their skills are necessary to
help you find full and lasting relief from sciatica. Our sciatica doctors can
