Sciatica

Sciatica Pain Recovery Through Chiropractic Care

The sciatic nerve begins at the lower spine and extends down the legs. When compression, inflammation, or other types of abnormalities occur in the vicinity of this nerve, pain, numbness, achiness, bending difficulties, tingling, burning, and/or weakness can take place. These symptoms are typically felt in the leg, thigh, lower back, buttock, calf, hip, and even foot. The discomfort may be mild, moderate, or severe. Naturally, the longer the situation goes untreated, the worse it can become.

What Causes Sciatic Pain?

There are different conditions that cause sciatic suffering; therefore, sciatica is not the primary problem but instead secondary to something else. A slipped disk, shifted spine, injury, fracture, growth, trauma, and pelvic misalignment are a few potential sources of sciatica. Because of the secondary nature of sciatica, it is extremely important to determine its underlying cause so a successful therapy plan can be developed.

Chiropractic Care for Sciatic Pain

Chiropractic care effectively addresses sciatica in many cases. A thorough examination, including x-rays and/or other imaging tests, will characteristically be performed. This preliminary work serves to establish the principal problem causing the distress. Once a better understanding is reached, a treatment strategy can be worked out. For example, oftentimes a misaligned lower spine is found to be the offender, and chiropractic adjustments work to correct both the problem and pain. Other natural treatments, like massage and ice, may also be used to strengthen the benefits.

What Patients Are Saying About Healing Hands

"I had bad back pain, and honestly thought I was disabled permanently. A couple of sessions with Kelly really did the trick. Brilliant chiropractor, and the masseuses there are good too."

- Joseph

"The day after my son's first visit with Dr. Cao, he was pain free! She asked to see Sean a couple weeks later to be sure his adjustments held and now he is completely fine. Should he, or his brothers, have any falls or injuries involving their backs and/or necks in the future our first stop will be to the chiropractor."

- Scott

"Healing Hands is a very warm and inviting environment. I look forward to my visits there, because they are often the most relaxing part of my week. I highly recommend Healing Hands to anyone in need of help with back pain, but especially to pregnant women whose backs go through so much extra stress with the weight of pregnancy, and do not have a lot of other options."

- Suzanne

"I have been helped immensely by Dr. Kelly Cao. I was in a great deal of pain, never thought I would walk normal again, due to a slip and fall accident on black ice. I had a lot of problems ongoing from this fall. Dr. Cao always helps. No matter the pain, I do not take pain pills, I trust and believe in Dr. Cao's therapy."

- M. Tebo

"I would highly recommend Dr. Cao to anyone that has pain. She is a fantastic Doctor. Unlike most doctors that I have seen in the past, she listens and then addresses the issue with a comprehensive approach which combines Chiropractic Adjustment and Medical Massage. The bottom line is.... It Works!
I can't thank you enough Dr. Cao for relieving me of my pain!"

- Jim

"I've been seeing Dr. Cao for myself and thinking chiropractic adjustments would put an end to Sean's pain much quicker than traditional medicine's methods, I asked if she treats children. Thankfully, Dr. Cao does in fact treat children and my insurance covers the visits."

"The day after my son's first visit with Dr. Cao, he was pain free! She asked to see Sean a couple weeks later to be sure his adjustments held and now he is completely fine. Should he, or his brothers, have any falls or injuries involving their backs and/or necks in the future our first stop will be to the chiropractor."

"I am extremely grateful to Dr. Cao, I thought I really did it this time. Dr. Cao is a absolute professional, she knows what she's doing and I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone and Wendy will make the insurance end if it a breeze."

- John

"After a single visit, my symptoms were substantially improved. I was able to stop decongestants without a recurrence of vertigo. I was delighted to get relief without medications. When my symptoms re-appeared this August, I returned to Dr. Cao with the same results. In addition, Dr. Cao recommended a new stretch to add to my daily routine. I am eager to see if it provides even more relief!"

- Ann

"Seeing Dr. Cao was the best thing I did in my recovery and I owe it to her that I am back to my old self again, as Dr's didn't seem to be too optimistic that I would feel 100% again. Boy am I glad they were wrong!"
