Sciatica Relief from Our Los Altos Chiropractor at Reimer Wellness Center

Our Los Altos chiropractor at Reimer Wellness Center can help you with your sciatica through chiropractic care, which is a noninvasive way to heal a variety of back injuries.

Understanding Sciatic Nerve Pain

The term sciatica refers to a compression or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. When the sciatic nerve becomes irritated it can result in lower back and leg pain, as well as difficulty, walking. Many individuals notice a worsening of symptoms after they have been sitting for an extended period of time.

Sciatic nerve compression and irritations can occur due to herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, isthmic spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis and extremely tight buttock muscles. Our chiropractor can diagnose the causes of your sciatic nerve pain and recommend the appropriate chiropractic treatments to help you find sciatica pain relief.

Finding Sciatica Pain Relief with Our Chiropractor

Finding sciatica pain relief with our chiropractor involves a complete diagnosis and medical history. In come instances, we may need digital images of your spine in order to make a complete diagnosis and to understand the severity of your condition. Once we understand the details of your condition, we can recommend a treatment program. Common treatment options include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy and physiotherapy.

Chiropractic adjustments are beneficial in ensuring your vertebrae are properly aligned. Improperly aligned vertebrae can put pressure on your muscles, nerves and other soft tissues, resulting in pain and loss of range of motion.

Massage therapy is used to relax your muscles, improve circulation and lower mental and physical stress. When it is combined with chiropractic adjustments, individuals notice better pain management and reduced muscle soreness, which can reduce overall body pain.

Physiotherapy refers to a group of noninvasive techniques that can include electric muscle stimulation, which can help reduce muscle pain and corrective exercises, which help restore lost strength and flexibility in the muscles and tendons.
