Sciatica is a painful condition originating from pressure on the sciatic nerve. This discomfort may radiate through the body, affecting the back, thighs, pelvis, and buttocks. When treating sciatica pain, finding and addressing the root cause is important. This cause may look different in everyone. As such, you should find a trusted chiropractor who is skilled at accurately targeting and treating sciatica pain.

Herniated Disc
A herniated disc is the most common cause of sciatica. A disk herniation occurs when the ‘cushions’ (discs) in between the vertebrae of the spine bulge or slip out of place. A herniated disc can pinch or place pressure on the sciatic nerve if not addressed. This can be extremely painful and sometimes debilitating, leading to reduced mobility, inflammation, and numbness.
If a herniated disc is causing your sciatic pain, our spinal decompression treatment can help to alleviate your symptoms. This treatment involves lying on the in-office DRX 9000 spinal decompression table. This device reduces pressure on the nerves and slowly works to ease your discs back into place. All you have to do is lie down, relax, and let the spinal decompression table work its magic on your sciatic nerve and spinal cord.

Bone Spurs
Bone spurs are overgrowths that may occur along the edge of your body’s bones. These spurs are usually associated with arthritis. Arthritis refers to a degenerative condition that causes bone cartilage to deteriorate. As a result, the body attempts to heal and repair this cartilage damage, subsequently leading to the creation of bone spurs.
Bone spurs, due to their inconvenient position, may place pressure on nearby nerves – including the sciatic nerve.
Fortunately, laser therapy treatment at Roach Spine and Disc Center can help patients to manage this pain. Laser MLS (Multiwave Locked System) therapy is an FDA-approved way to promote healing and eliminate chronic pain. Using highly advanced technology, laser MLS therapy delivers pulsed emissions and dual wavelengths to the source of pain. These wavelengths have the power to deeply penetrate the body’s cells, allowing for reduced swelling and fast relief. Call our chiropractic center to see if MLS laser therapy is right for you and your sciatica.
