San Antonio Sciatica Pain Helped With Chiropractic Therapy

By Griselda Zerna Albao


If you are experiencing low back pain, life may not be much fun. In fact, lower back problems can sometimes worsen and can affect your legs and feet too. When this occurs, it may be caused by a condition known as "sciatica" and your San Antonio chiropractor can help you with this kind of problem, with safe and natural therapy.

Sciatica means the sciatic nerve is impinged or irritated. Your nervous system allows your brain to communicate with your body. For example, to move your legs for walking, the brain sends signals to the legs and this tells muscles to contract for walking. The same basic thing happens when you need to move the hands or other body parts.

Nerves are channels that the brain uses to communicate with all body parts. If for some reason a nerve cannot work properly it may short circuit, resulting in pain. Your sciatic nerve is very long and runs from the lower spine through the legs, and to your feet. When the nerve is impinged, pain or unusual sensations may be felt all along the nerve.

Sciatica refers to problems with the sciatic nerve and this can cause throbbing pain in the buttocks, legs, and feet. Pain may take the form of numbness, "needles and pins", electric shock, or a burning sensation. If you do nothing about the pain, it can get much worse as scar tissue forms and muscles spasm and tighten.

If you have sciatica symptoms you can visit your chiropractic doctor for an examination and consultation. The doctor wants to know why you are in pain and checks to see where the nerve impingement is located. Most times, sciatica originates in the lower spine but not always. The problem can sometimes be caused by muscle entrapment.

Today's chiropractor in San Antonio has many tools to help you feel better. You may enjoy the benefits of physiotherapy, chiropractic adjustment, ultrasound, massage therapy, and many others. Chiropractic therapies are completely natural and help your body begin to heal, and pain may soon be gone.
