Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is a condition that is most commonly seen with a shooting pain down the back of your legs. The symptoms can cause burning pain or a numbness and tingling sensation. Many patients have muscle weakness associated with this condition. Because this condition commonly is caused due to a lumbar spine condition (i.e. disc bulge) many patients seek conservative care through a chiropractor for the treatment of this condition. Our office uses a revolutionary approach to treating sciatica, which would incorporate axial traction techniques in conjunction with an extensive rehabilitation program.
