Low Back Pain and Sciatica Q & A
Why does low back pain happen?
Low back pain can occur for several reasons. These causes include:
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition resulting from the sciatic nerve — the longest human nerve — being pinched or impinged. Some of the causes of pressure on the sciatic nerve are by the following:
Sciatica causes low back pain that moves down one leg. This pain can shoot down the leg to the knee and in some cases as far as the foot.. This can make it difficult to walk, sit, or move normally.
How are low back pain and sciatica treated?
At Beneficial Health Medical Center, low back pain and sciatica are treated using non-invasive and minimally invasive techniques. Dr. William Knop and the Beneficial Health Medical Center team will customize a care plan that will allow you to heal quickly and comfortably. Treatment may include:
Dr. Knop can perform spinal adjustments that can alleviate imbalances that may be contributing to your headaches. Regular chiropractic adjustments can help you feel better very quickly, and they can also help reduce the frequency and the duration of your headaches. Other healing methods may also be helpful in dealing with headaches, including physical therapy techniques and therapeutic massage.
Chiropractic care: Chiropractic care includes the latest and most advanced adjustment techniques, all of which are completely non-invasive. This care can relieve pressure, correct imbalances, and properly align the spine for optimal pain relief and wellness.
Physical therapy techniques: Physical therapy techniques such as moist heat therapy, cryotherapy, ultrasound therapy, and interferential electrical muscle stimulation can complement chiropractic care and provide extra pain relief.
Prescribed exercises: Dr. Knop can prescribe exercises that will help you strengthen your core muscles to provide greater support for your spine. This will help keep it properly aligned and reduce the chance of injury.
Massage therapy: Massage therapy can reduce inflammation, reduce pain, and help restore a reduced range of motion.
