Nearly everyone will have back pain at some point in their life, but with sciatica \u2014 well,
\nyou’ll know something is different right away!<\/p>\n
So, what is sciatica?<\/p>\n
What is sciatica pain like?<\/p>\n
Sciatica really describes a set of symptoms rather than a condition.<\/p>\n
The most common symptom can be described as pain that begins in your lower back,
\ntravels down through your buttocks, and extends down your leg, usually on just one side
\nof the body.<\/p>\n
That shooting pain down your leg is often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve or
\none or more of the other nerves exiting your spine.<\/p>\n
And it might surprise you to know that even a tiny amount of pressure can result in a
\ntremendous amount of pain.<\/p>\n
So, getting rid of the associated inflammation and then opening up space for the nerve
\nare both essential steps on the path to finding relief.<\/p>\n
That’s where we come in.<\/p>\n

\nsciatica pain naturally.<\/p>\n
Sciatica pain leads many people to think their “condition” must be so serious it can only
\nbe healed by a surgeon.<\/p>\n
Or that they must need spinal injections.<\/p>\n
Or that they must resort to prescription pain medications.<\/p>\n
We’ve even heard patients refer to their pain as sciatica attacks!<\/p>\n
So, when they are told that chiropractic treatment can provide the same level of pain
\nrelief as those invasive interventions \u2014 well, it sounds too good to be true.<\/p>\n
Let’s talk about the function of pain for a moment.<\/p>\n
Pain is your body’s way of signaling to you that something needs your attention.<\/p>\n
So, what is sciatica pain?<\/p>\n
A signal.<\/p>\n
Think of it as your body saying, “Pay Attention Inside Now!”.<\/p>\n
When a problem occurs in the body, due to ergonomic stress, spinal misalignment, or
\ndegenerative changes, the body uses pain as a signal for us to pay attention and act.<\/p>\n
And believe it or not, pain is usually the last thing to show up and the first thing to leave,
\nwhether we\u2019re talking about injuries or spinal conditions.<\/p>\n
To understand why we recommend seeing a chiropractic sciatica doctor in El Dorado Hills and Granite Bay and why our non-invasive methods work, it helps to take a closer look at a common underlying cause of sciatica pain.<\/p>\n
Just like you\u2019ve probably Googled \u201cWhat is sciatica?\u201d a time or two in your life, you\u2019ve
\nprobably also Googled \u201cWhat is a pinched nerve?”<\/p>\n
The pinching or compression of a spinal nerve can occur because of an injury to one of
\nyour spinal discs (such as disc herniation), the development of a bone spur, or even
\nligaments that have simply increased in size.<\/p>\n
Whatever the underlying issue, it’s likely to cause noticeable levels of pain and
\ndiscomfort until you’ve taken steps to decrease the inflammation and open up space for
\nthe affected nerve, and, in many cases, also taken steps to also improve the movement
\nof the surrounding spinal joints.<\/p>\n
Check, check, and check!<\/p>\n
We can help.<\/p>\n
You don’t have to live in pain, and you don’t have to settle for surgery, injections, or pain
\nmedications.<\/p>\n
You deserve better.<\/p>\n
So, what is sciatica?<\/p>\n
A set of very specific symptoms signaling the presence of an underlying condition that
\nchiropractic care can help resolve \u2014 no surgery, injections, or pain medications
\nrequired.<\/p>\n
Top research publications have shown that people struggling with sciatica pain can get
\nfantastic results with chiropractic care.<\/p>\n
In fact, in one recent study, researchers found that 60% of participants with
\nsymptomatic cases of sciatica benefitted from chiropractic adjustments to the same
\ndegree as if they underwent surgical intervention (again, without any of the risks!).<\/p>\n
And what many may not know is that beyond adjustments, exercise and rehab can also
\nhelp strengthen the muscles supporting your spine to reduce the likelihood of a relapse.<\/p>\n
Yes, we do that too!<\/p>\n
