Sciatica is a condition that affects the sciatic nerve by causing pressure to it. Sciatica is not always serious and is usually gone within six weeks or so. The sciatic nerve has its roots at the spinal cord's lowest end. It has two branches that run from each side of the pelvis, buttocks, and down the back of the leg to the foot.
Sciatic pain can be anywhere in the buttocks, down to the leg or foot but the pain will usually only be on one side of the body. The pain may be accompanied by numbness and can be aggravated by sneezing, coughing, or sitting for long periods of time. It is further aggravated by lifting. Sciatica does not happen overnight but comes on slowly.
Sciatica can occur when there is inflammation, or if there is compression of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is not considered a disease by itself and usually occurs because of different causes. A pinched nerve in the lower spine can cause sciatica. A herniated disc in the lower back is also a cause for sciatica. The herniated disc can come on suddenly or it can occur over time.
Spinal Decompression is often the preferred treatment option for sciatic pain. Spinal decompression is a non surgical and non invasive form of therapy that will eliminate the space between the spinal cord and the spinal nerve and reduce or eliminate pain. Spinal decompression works by stretching the spine gently and causing a vacuum that will restore the disc and reduce any bulging.
If you are suffering from sciatic pain you should see your chiropractor for a proper diagnosis. If you are indeed suffering from sciatica then you should consult with a chiropractic professional that understands spinal decompression using VAX-D Therapy. If you live in or around the Bala Cynwyd area of Pennsylvania, there are several choices available that offer spinal decompression in order to alleviate the pain of sciatica. Many of the clinics offer consultation at no cost to determine if you are a candidate for VAX-D spinal decompression therapy.
Back pain of any sort is not something you want to place on the back burner because it does not go away by itself. Some back pain may be intermittent but will return and each time it returns it is stronger. Severe back pain can keep you from going to work, keep you away from your normal activities whether they are family oriented or sports oriented. It is unnecessary to suffer lower back pain when there is relief in the form of spinal decompression.
Spinal decompression and sciatica are a combination that can give you long term pain relief and bring you back to being yourself again. There is nothing that can change ones attitude and personality faster then the back pain of sciatica.
