Sciatica Treatment in Brisbane
Sciatica refers to a specific condition in the lower back, involving compression of the sciatic nerve. This condition results in pain in the lower back, often radiating into the buttocks and leg, and typically includes numbness and tingling in the leg.
Other issues in the lower back can result in sciatica-like pain, but may not be true sciatica. In order to correct the problem, it’s important to locate the underlying cause of the pain or other symptoms and address the problem at its source.
Accurate Diagnosis Is Key
In order to create a custom care plan to address your specific situation, we must first locate the root cause of the problem. We do this by conducting a thorough examination, including appropriate imaging as needed. Your chiropractor will review the results of your assessments and go over them with you, explaining what’s going on to cause your symptoms.
With this accurate diagnosis, your chiropractor will be able to determine if your issue is true sciatica or another condition and design the best care plan for you. They’ll explain their approach and how it may help.
Holistic, Natural Approach
Depending on your specific situation, we may recommend a variety of natural, non-invasive techniques and therapies to correct the underlying problem. This will typically start with chiropractic adjustments and may also include cold laser therapy, soft tissue work, and specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the musculature and take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. We may also recommend vibration therapy to stimulate muscle contractions to strengthen the area.
As with all of our care, everything will be explained to you and we’ll offer you suggestions and recommendations around posture, ergonomics and other lifestyle modifications that may help improve your condition.
