Advanced Chiropractic and Acupuncture Center

The use of prescription pain medications for chronic pain, such as back or neck pain, has led many people into opioid addiction. That’s why finding safer, natural pain relief alternatives are more vital than ever. With approximately 35 million Americans being treated through chiropractic treatments, many are taking control of their health. This ever-increasing popular alternative treatment is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that can help treat various issues, including low back pain, neck pain, whiplash, joint pain, headaches, sciatica, and more. While spinal manipulation is the centerpiece of chiropractic treatment, chiropractic care has expanded to include other diagnostic and therapies in their toolbox.

Sitting down for long periods has become unavoidable in today’s modern lifestyle. From commuting to and from work, sitting at a desk all day, watching TV, or browsing social media, the longer one sits, the more strenuous it becomes for the body. And unfortunately, inactivity is a leading cause of sciatica because sitting in one position for a long duration can create inflammation that irritates the sciatic nerve, commonly triggered by a bulging herniated disc in the spine or a bone spur. This causes a sharp, deep, burning pain or tingling sensation that typically runs down one side of your buttock and leg.

Regular exercise is a great way to prevent and treat sciatica. If your occupation requires a long time at your desk, take frequent breaks to walk or stretch. When sciatica symptoms persist or don’t disappear after several weeks, a chiropractor can help address the root cause of your sciatica and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs to get back on the road to a full recovery.
