Sciatica
Are you experiencing sharp, shooting pain that radiates from your lower back down through your legs? You may be suffering from sciatica. At Swansea Chiropractic Clinic, we specialise in providing relief from this often debilitating condition.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is not a condition itself, but a symptom of an underlying problem. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down through your hips and legs, becomes compressed or irritated. Common causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs in the lower spine
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Piriformis syndrome (when a small muscle in the buttocks irritates the sciatic nerve)
- Pregnancy
- Degenerative disc disease
Our experienced chiropractors are skilled at identifying the root cause of your sciatica and developing an effective treatment plan.
Our Approach to Sciatica Treatment
At Swansea Chiropractic Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating sciatica:
- Chiropractic Adjustment: Gentle spinal manipulations to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and improve spinal alignment.
- Massage: Soft tissue therapy to relax tense muscles that may be contributing to nerve compression.
- Exercise Recommendations: Specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the core and lower back, improving support for the spine.
- Posture Advice: Guidance on maintaining proper posture to reduce strain on your lower back and sciatic nerve.
Our goal is not only to provide immediate pain relief but also to address the underlying causes of your sciatica for long-term improvement.
Your First Visit for Sciatica Treatment
When you arrive for your initial appointment, our friendly receptionist will greet you and ask you to complete an intake form if you haven't done so online. This form is crucial in helping us understand your condition thoroughly.
During your visit, we'll conduct a comprehensive assessment, which typically includes:
- A detailed discussion about your symptoms, their onset, and your medical history
- Physical examination focusing on your lower back, hips, and legs
- Chiropractic assessment to evaluate spinal alignment and nerve function
Based on our findings, we'll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to address your specific sciatica symptoms and their underlying cause.
