Our Green Bay Chiropractor regularly helps patients with sciatica. Sciatica is characterized by pain that starts in the lower back area and travels into one or both legs. Sciatic pain can vary in intensity from minimal to extremely severe, and may come and go.
So what is sciatica? The pain from sciatica can be described as dull, achy, sharp, pins-and-needles or similar to electric shocks. Some of the symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness and tingling sensations. Sciatica is often caused when misaligned segments of the pelvis or spine put pressure on nerves that travel down into the legs.
There are many problems that may cause sciatica, and it is important for your chiropractor to assess where your problem is coming from. The lower lumbar spine and pelvis are a very complex organization of the joints. It takes a skilled chiropractor to understand the relationship between those joints. Our Green Bay chiropractors are skilled at locating the source of your condition, and helping you understand what is necessary to correct the problem.
So, how does sciatica start? We commonly hear patients tell us that they simply bent over to pick up a piece of paper when their pain started. They can't understand why such a simple task would cause them so much pain. The reality is that their condition was probably developing over years of time. That piece of paper just happened to be the last straw.
Many patients ask us how long it will take to correct sciatica? The answer to that question really depends on how bad the problem is, and how long the problem has been there. Our chiropractors will do their best to inform you about your condition. They will work to help relieve your symptoms, and they will continue to work to stabilize your condition.
