Did you know that sciatica often resolves without having to resort to risky medications or a dangerous surgery? Research has shown that 89% of patients suffering from sciatica responded very well to chiropractic adjustments. Medications or injections are no longer a first-line treatment due to their risks and limited effectiveness. Also, if you’ve thought about therapy that doesn’t include spinal mobilization, here is something to consider: a recent paper found 20% more patients experienced relief with spinal adjustments than exercise alone.– Nerve roots in your low back combine to form the sciatic nerve
– The sciatic nerve travels from your lower back down into your buttocks, legs, and feet
– Research shows over 89% of patients with sciatica respond well to chiropractic care
Sciatica can severely impact your quality of life. But rest assured that you don’t need to immediately resort to medications, injections, or surgery to correct the problem. Top research publications have shown that these risky prescriptions are hardly ever more effective than a spinal adjustment. So starting with chiropractic care is the smartest decision you can make.
