Sciatica Treatment in New Port Richey
Living with sciatica can be more than mildly annoying; it can be highly challenging, making it difficult to tackle even the simplest of tasks. When the sciatic nerve, which extends from your lower back through your hips and down each leg, becomes compressed or irritated, it can create intense discomfort that affects your daily life.
The pain can feel sharp or shooting, and you may experience weakness, numbness, or tingling, making even standing or walking difficult. Whether your sciatica is caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, spinal stenosis, or muscle tightness, our chiropractors can create a treatment plan that provides immediate relief and promotes long-term healing.
Why Choose Chiropractic Care?
One of the primary benefits of chiropractic care is it’s completely natural and noninvasive. Chiropractic care offers a gentle, natural approach that goes beyond just managing your symptoms—it aims to address what’s actually causing your discomfort. Not only can you find relief without relying on medications, but you’ll also be able to avoid the downtime associated with surgical procedures.
Many of our patients can move more freely and confidently after getting care at the practice, returning to the activities they love. Perhaps best of all, chiropractic care targets the root cause of your sciatica, helping to prevent future flare-ups and keeping you feeling your best for the long term.
Our Multifaceted Approach to Helping You Heal
Spinal misalignments can put excessive pressure on the sciatic nerve. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, relieving nerve compression and restoring proper function. Our doctors may use the following techniques: Diversified, Gonstead, and Thompson Drop Table.
Tight or inflamed muscles around the sciatic nerve can make symptoms worse. Soft tissue therapies, such as myofascial release, massage, and/or passive flexibility, reduce tension and improve blood flow to support healing.
Inside the practice, there are many things you can do to address sciatica. These include: Hot/Cold Packs, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Hydrotherapy and Cold Laser Therapy to reduce pain, swelling, inflammation and muscle tightness and promote healing!
We can provide targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and prevent future flare-ups. Your chiropractor will guide you through stretches and movements to help ease sciatica pain and improve mobility.
Outside the practice, there are many things you can do at home to address sciatica. These include making ergonomic adjustments to your workstation and maintaining proper posture and a healthy weight.
