Sciatica

Sciatica can be caused by a number of low back conditions. The only way to successfully treat sciatica is to determine the specific reason for the pain. SOme of the more common reasons for sciatica include; arthritis, disc problems, Iliotibial Band Syndrome, Piriformis Syndrome, and abnormal biomechanics. The key to relieving the pain and improving the problem is to discover every part of the underlying cause. To often, a doctor will diagnose a patient merely by there x-ray or MRI findings. My office commonly finds missed diagnosed conditions which are just overlooked because a positive diagnostic test was found. While diagnostic tests are important, they are no substitute for a physician taking the time to talk to you about your condition and to do a full hands on examination.

Most sciatic patients can be treated with traditional chiropractic care and physical therapy. Patients with severe pain will benefit from Synaptic Therapy and Alpha-Stim Therapy , two FDA recognized cutting edge treatments to manage pain.
