Treating sciatica successfully is likely to require chiropractic adjustments to realign your spine. Premier Care Chiropractic’s experienced practitioners have specialized skills that enable them to identify the cause of your sciatica and relieve sciatic nerve compression.
Your chiropractor can use various techniques. One of the primary ones is high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts, where they use their hands to make fast, precise spinal adjustments. Another technique is instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, where your chiropractor uses specially designed instruments to address muscle spasm and tension in the soft tissues in the affected area.
If your sciatica is due to a spinal disc problem, decompression can help. This is a noninvasive therapy where you lie on a treatment table that gently stretches your back and creates separation between your vertebrae. The stretching allows any bulging or herniated disc material to move back to its proper position. Premier Care offers two decompression options which allows the practitioners at premier care to accommodate different patient needs.
You might benefit from massage therapy following chiropractic adjustments to ease the muscle tension and help your spine stay aligned. Physical therapy can also help by increasing your strength and flexibility and by decreasing muscle tension.
