Sciatica Treatment in Overland Park and Lenexa
Sciatica treatment is a service our Overland Park and Lenexa chiropractic clinics provide on a regular basis. Sciatica is a common condition of the lower back and legs that is characterized by localized back pain with a radiating or shooting pain down one or both of the legs. Chiropractic care is a fantastic conservative option to treat sciatica without the use of drugs or surgery. The term sciatica just refers to the pain felt in the sciatic nerve, which can be from many different causes. Disc problems, such as a bulge or herniation, along with muscle tension or bone spurs can affect this nerve that exits the lower back. It is important to distinguish the exact root cause of the problem in order to provide the correct treatment. Our highly trained doctors are proficient in diagnosis and treatment of this condition and have helped the community of Overland Park and Lenexa with this condition since 1999.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica can occur from a range of underlying conditions including, but not limited to disc lesions, bone spurs, muscle tightness, spinal stenosis or shortening of the spinal cord canal, pregnancy, and tumors. Disc lesions, which range from bulging discs to herniated discs, are the most common nerve root compression in the sciatic nerve. In our chiropractic clinic, we provide advanced and thorough examinations, that may include x-ray or MRI imaging depending on the severity of the sciatica. This imaging in combination with a comprehensive physical exam allows our doctors of chiropractic to locate the exact cause of the sciatica and what treatment will work best to get the patient on the path to resolving the problem.
