Sciatica Treatment at ANEW Chiropractic in Joliet, IL

Sciatica is a pain that travels from the lower back to the legs. This pain primarily affects the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve of the body. The sciatic nerve plays the important role of supplying sensation to the legs and feet. Living with sciatica can be very difficult, especially for those who don't seek treatment for it. At ANEW Chiropractic in Joliet, our experienced chiropractor, Dr. Lisa Rubis, can provide holistic and natural relief for sciatica.

Signs and Symptoms

Sciatica is most characterized by pain radiating along the lower back, legs, and buttocks. Numbness and tingling near the sciatic nerve could also indicate sciatica. The pain of this condition is often described as sharp or electrical. Those between the ages of 30 to 50 are more likely to develop sciatica. If you consistently experience any of these symptoms, check in with a doctor to make sure that the condition isn't serious. Without treatment, sciatica will lower your quality of life.

Causes of Sciatica

Compression of the lumbar nerves is what leads to sciatica. This condition is sometimes the result of degenerative disc disease, the natural breakdown of the spinal discs. Sciatica is closely linked with slipped discs, spinal misalignment, cauda equina, muscle tension, inflammation, and radiculopathy.

How a Chiropractor Can Help

A chiropractor can diagnose and treat people with sciatica. Generally speaking, sciatica is found through image testing; computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are popular diagnostic tools. The chiropractor might also ask about the signs and symptoms that a patient is displaying. The more information the doctor knows about a condition, the more accurately they can diagnose it.

Once a diagnosis is made, the chiropractor will design a treatment plan that will meet the needs of the patient. Chiropractic treatment methods for sciatica may include pain management, physical therapy, spinal adjustment, and other modalities. The treatment plan can be customized specifically for a patient's circumstances.

Testimonials

  • I was very impressed with the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. I had received chiropractic in the past for my neck pain, but not to this level of care. After only a few sessions, my symptoms began to disappear, especially my neck pain, and I know I would not have been able to perform to my everyday work functions without the treatment I received.

  • I have benefitted tremendously from the chiropractic care I received from Dr. Anderson. Not only has the adjustments helped alleviate my stiffness and aches, but it has helped me have more energy and just feel more balanced over all. A few months ago, I was able to resume a favorite hobby of mine: golf. Due to my previous pain, I never thought that’d be possible.

  • Dr. Anderson has allowed me to be headache free for quite some time now. I used to have daily nagging headaches that often would turn into a migraine leaving me unable to function. For the longest time, I thought I could just keep taking medication to have the pain subside.
