Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatica

Sciatica commonly occurs in individuals who suffer from spinal conditions such as herniated disks and bone spurs. The pain can radiate from the lower back down to buttocks, legs and feet. Chiropractic treatments can be a viable solution for patients who do not want to risk possible long term effects from pain medications or, in more severe cases, surgery.

What Can Chiropractic Care Do for Sciatica Pain?

Preston Chiropractic offers spinal manipulation therapy which can provide patients with longer-lasting relief. Spinal manipulation, or spinal adjustments, are used to realign the spine allowing the patient more mobility. This adjustment is a crucial step towards better results as it “resets” the spine to proper alignment, leading to better functionality overall. By resetting the spine to proper alignment, over time, the patient will be able to carry on with daily activities without the fear of worsening their condition. Chiropractic therapy can benefit the whole body, not limited to the affected areas. Patients have reported feeling increased range of motion and overall pain-free mobility, after receiving only a handful of adjustment services from our office.

How Many Treatments are Needed?

At Preston Chiropractic, our clinic’s top priority is giving the best patient experience for the best value. For a first time visit to our office, we offer a consultation with one of our experienced doctors, a thorough examination of your specific problem areas, and a chiropractic adjustment treatment all for $58. During this consultation, you will have a chance to discuss a plan that is right for you. As each patient’s condition is unique, the required number of visits could be as few, or as many as needed to effectively treat sciatica pain. We encourage our patients to take advantage of this offer, and begin their journey towards a pain-free future.

What are the Benefits of Chiro Versus Acupuncture?

Traditionally, chiropractic adjustments are used to help with sciatica pain, however, here at Preston Chiropractic and Acupuncture, our acupuncture services are also an effective solution. Our patients have reported improvement from both therapy options, and received various benefits that better suited their needs. Our Dr. Heather Sefried is expertly skilled to perform acupuncture therapy with over 19 years of experience! This ancient practice is widely used for relieving pain, such as sciatica, by carefully placing extremely fine needles in the exact problem area(s) of the patient’s body. 

The placement of these needles release blockages, relax muscles, improve blood circulation, and aid in regulating the nervous system. Patients also have reported this procedure helps alleviate and prevent pain from spreading further from only a few visits! Both therapies are ideal for patients concerned about possible long term side-effects of using traditional NASIDs medications over time. With chiropractic and acupuncture therapies, the methods are completely natural with little to no side-effects. During your consultation, you can ask your doctor which option is right for you and build a personalized treatment plan.
