Spinal Decompression Therapy is the most effective non-surgical sciatica treatment. It relieves pressure that builds upon discs and nerves by drawing areas of protrusion, herniated, or bulging discs back into place. Decompression therapy strengthens the ligament bands in these areas to heal and prevent future recurrence. This means no more pressure on the sciatic nerve that’s causing numbness, tingling, or pain. In addition, it heals the root cause of the problem.
Causes of Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is one of the largest nerves in the human body. It supplies most of your lower limbs and ensures physical activities such as standing, walking, or running are possible. Sciatica affects the sciatic nerve and can cause numbness and tingling. When it progresses, it can also cause weakness in the leg. As such a vital nerve, Sciatica, should be treated early and effectively to combat further problems.
A pinch in the sciatic nerve generally causes sciatica. The pinch or pressure can occur from a herniated or bulging disc, compressed lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, pregnancy, injury to the gluteal area, and more.
Certain risk factors can make you more prone to sciatica. Those living a sedentary lifestyle and some athletes or occupations that require muscles to be overworked may be susceptible to problems. It’s essential to be active and strengthen your lower back for prevention but not to overwork. Other common risk factors include obesity, diabetes, and age.
Prolonged sciatica is not only uncomfortable and painful, but it can cause permanent nerve damage. Be sure to treat the problem as soon as possible and practice prevention methods such as exercise and good posture.
Sciatica Pain Management
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen help in some cases as the first step in pain management. While it can soothe pain, it does not aid in the actual treatment of sciatica. Medications are often used in conjunction with therapies targeted to relieve whatever pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve. The ultimate goal is to eliminate sciatica in a non-invasive way that does not require surgery.
