Proper treatment of any condition, involves treating the cause and not just the symptoms. Chiropractors are uniquely trained to diagnose and treat your sciatica.
At Dr. Fromer's office, we will review your complete health history and perform a thorough physical examination to pinpoint any physical problems. Your care may include adjustments, exercises and corrections to your posture, behavior and lifestyle. Our goal is to correct or improve spinal alignment and mobility to allow your body to heal and relieve nerve irritation.
Many use bed rest or pain killers for sciatica. Prolonged bed rest has been found to be ineffective and may actually aggravate your condition. Pain killers may provide relief from your pain but they do not deal with the cause of the problem. Chiropractic care offers safe, effective treatment for sciatica without the use of drugs or surgery.
The Sciatic Nerve:
A sciatic nerve is made up of five nerve roots that exit from your lower back, join in your pelvis and then continue to your thigh, knee, ankle and finally your foot.
Your two sciatic nerves (running the length of each leg) are the longest and largest nerves in your body. Inflammation of the sciatic nerve can cause extreme pain.
Chiropractic, Part of Balanced Healthcare:
Chiropractic care focuses on maximizing the body's incredible potential for self-healing by detecting, correcting and preventing interferences in your nervous system. It may include spinal adjustments, stretches, exercises or other healthy lifestyle recommendations.
Chiropractic can change your life!
