Sciatica is an extremely common ailment, but that doesn't make it any less debilitating. The pain associated with sciatica can range from a dull ache to sharp, shooting pain that can make even standing up difficult. If you're looking for relief from sciatica pain, spinal decompression may be the solution you've been searching for. Spinal decompression treatments from the chiropractors at Natural Healing Arts Medical Center can help.

What is sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that causes pain in the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc, but it can also be caused by spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, or other conditions that compress or irritate the nerve. Symptoms of sciatica include:

Pain in the lower back or glutes
Pain that radiates down the leg
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot

Sciatica can make it difficult to walk, stand, or even sit without experiencing pain. For some people, the pain is mild and goes away on its own after a few weeks. For others, the pain is more severe and can last for months or even years.

How can spinal decompression help?

Spinal decompression is a treatment that helps relieve pressure on the spine by gently stretching the spine. This stretching creates negative pressure in the discs, which allows herniated disc material to be drawn back into the disc and away from the sciatic nerve. Spinal decompression can also help improve blood flow and nutrition to the discs, which can help speed up the healing process. At Natural Healing Arts Medical Center, we offer both in-office and at-home spinal decompression treatments. Dr. Zamikoff can create a treatment plan that is tailored to meet your needs.
