Healing Sciatica With Chiropractic Care

1. Many people suffer from Sciatic pain. What is Sciatica? Sciatica is pressure on the Sciatic nerve which is actually two nerves, the tibia and common peroneal nerve, bound together by common sheath of connective tissue. Both of these nerves form the Sciatic nerve, and they originate from L4-S3. Pressure or injury to the sciatic nerve results in sciatica. Sciatic pain can start in the buttock, and go all the way down the back and sides of the leg in to the sides of the foot. Many cases of sciatica can be helped by chiropractic care wellington FL. When a person has sciatica, the first step is identifying the cause of the sciatic pain pattern. Orthopedic exams, neurological testing, and other diagnostic testing such as MRI's can help determine if the Sciatica is cause by herniated disks, or other reasons. Many times, Sciatica is caused by what has been coined Performs Syndrome. The Performs muscle is a small triangular muscle deep in the buttocks. The Sciatic nerve passes either through the Performs muscle, or underneath it depending on how a person is born. When the Performs muscle is irritated, it can contract in to a chronic state of spasm. This often times will press on the Sciatic nerve. Through chiropractic care Wellington FL, we can diagnose the cause of the sciatic pain, and properly correct the Sciatica. If the Sciatic pain is caused by Performs syndrome, certain chiropractic treatments are utilized to relax the Performs muscle and lessen the nerve root irritation. In my experience as a NYC chiropractor since 1998, I've had many cases of chronic sciatica heal over a relatively short period of time once the performs muscle spasm had been addressed and corrected.
