subject: Garden Grove, Ca Sciatica Issues Helped By Chiropractic Care [print this page] If you feel a constant pain in your legs, hips or lower spine or have a numb feeling then you might have a condition called sciatica. If it is a recent pain then it might resolve itself. But if it has been longer than four weeks then you should have it checked out. And the person to do this could be a Garden Grove Chiropractor.
The sensation known as sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve gets inflamed or has pressure applied to it. Inflammation can have several causes but pressure almost always comes from a disc in your spine moving out of place. When a disc is forced to move, the only available space is next to this nerve.
This nerve is almost the same diameter as a finger and goes from the spine all the way down to the base of the feet. When you consider the size of it, it's easy to understand why it causes so much pain and why it is so common.
And as the pain is so intense, it has to be handled with great care. So who could be better than a chiropractor, the word chiropractic means to perform with the hands.
The first step taken will be to find the exact root of your problem. This is done with a thorough physical of the body and particularly the painful areas. The will also get to know your personal health history as any detail, however small could affect the cause of the pain as well as the recovery.
The next course of action will be to discuss what lies ahead with a Garden Grove chiropractor. Talking about the different methods to find the best ways to help that specific problem. After the chosen method has had time to work, a rehabilitation program will be discussed to provide long term relief.
