 Leg Pain with Sciatica Treatment

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. Sometimes it becomes inflamed. This condition is called sciatica.

If you have leg pain it may not be sciatica, but sciatica almost always involves leg pain. People that suffer from sciatica often have pain along the nerve path, usually in the back of legs and thighs. Pain may also be felt in the ankle, foot, and toes. Sufferers may feel tingling, burning, prickling, paresthesia (pins and needles), tenderness, numbness, or crawling sensations apart from pain.

Sciatica is very hard to deal with. Any movement can cause a lot of pain. If you have sciatica, you should start treatment with a chiropractor.

Sciatica treatment by chiropractor frequently includes ultrasound and cold laser, to reduce inflammation, while controlling pain. It is often done with the flexion/distraction technique, which helps loosen tight muscles and mobilize tight joints. Although these are common treatments, the treatment that you undergo will depend on the severity of your condition.

Dramatic relief has been observed after a single chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic has been found to work better than traction, painkiller injections, or surgery. Schedule your appointment at Central Illinois Spine today.
