Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis). It refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. The type of chiropractic therapy that Dr. James Huggins, Jr. at Carolina Chiropractic Center will provide depends on the cause of the patient’s sciatica.
Although the pain associated with sciatica can be severe, most cases may resolve with chiropractic treatments over a course of a few weeks. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body. Symptoms associated with this condition include burning, numbness and even tingling sensations. When it comes to treatment, Dr. James Huggins, Jr. may recommend ice/cold therapies, ultrasound, and/or spinal adjustments.
