Sciatica Treatment
Risk factors for sciatica include age, obesity, occupation, and lifestyle choices. Unfortunately, most people don’t know that they should be properly caring for their spine throughout life. As a result, degenerative changes occur over time, and this makes sciatica more likely as we age. Carrying extra weight increases pressure on the spine and spinal nerve roots. It can also directly increase pressure on the sciatic nerve itself. Different occupations also increase the risk of sciatica. Jobs that require long periods of sitting, jobs that involve lifting and twisting, and others can cause sciatica problems. Lifestyle choices affecting the sciatic nerve range from a sedentary lifestyle to Olympic athlete training.
It is best to address sciatica immediately when it occurs. Delaying treatment allows the problem to worsen, which means more treatment will be necessary. It is common for people to put up with things until they can’t. This is a terrible approach to health and wellness.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
That may be a little off… prevention is worth 16 times more than a cure…
No value can be placed on health. It is invaluable. Therefore, prevention is always best.
If you haven’t worked to prevent and develop a problem, do not delay in addressing it. Don’t just get by.
Don’t change how you do things.
Don’t stop doing things that you want to do.
Address the problem.

Address the problem.
The conventional approach to treating sciatica is medication to mask the symptoms. If that fails to relieve the symptoms, the next step is physical therapy. If the symptoms persist, MRI and surgery may be required.
This is one path to travel.
There is an alternative.
Chiropractic care is a natural approach that addresses the actual cause of the problem. It targets the nerve root(s) that are being compressed and relieves the compression. Treatment is based on individual patients’ exam findings and needs.
