Sciatica Treatments - Tried and Failed

Traditional treatments for sciatica may include steroids and injections, prescription or over the counter medications, permanent surgery, or physical therapy that involves targeted exercises in the affected area. Each of these treatments is harmful to your body in its own way. Medications and steroid injections have a set of potentially harmful side effects that accompany their use and they can be very harmful when used in combination with other drugs. Surgery is permanent and may involve fusing or removing bones. Many who have chosen this method of treatment have experienced temporary relief and have had to undergo surgery again a few short years later. Targeted exercises might seem to be the best option of the bunch, however, exercises over work the already strained muscles and nerves and only makes the problem worse.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that happens when the sciatic nerve, which is in the lower back, is pinched or irritated and causes pain. The sciatic nerve extends from the lower back down into the feet and when this nerve is irritated you feel it all the way down your body. Other things that may cause this nerve to be irritated might include bone spurs, trauma from an accident or fall, and disc degeneration. When these issues occur, many people don’t feel any pain and the body is able to compensate for the injury. After time, however, the body is no longer able to compensate and you experience pain. No matter if your pain ranges from mild to severe, there is another treatment option that is all-natural and drug free.

Exercises for Sciatica

When you are participating in intense workouts that happen with physical therapy, you are building muscles in your body which increases your pain tolerance. This sounds good right? Wrong. Your pain tolerance increases, however, your pain also intensifies. The source of your pain is not being addressed with this treatment option and can cause more problems in the long-term. Because sciatica is caused by nerve irritation, the use of exercises to treat the problem can increase the irritation and further disrupt the spine. If your problem isn’t caused by a misalignment in the spine, but rather by bone degeneration or disc degeneration, your bones might be grinding against one another keeping the nerve trapped. If you are ready to get rid of your sciatic pain for good, chiropractic care may be a good treatment option for you. Keep reading to learn more!
