Snellville Sciatica Issues Helped With Chiropractic Therapy

By Fernando Ketter


If you are experiencing low back problems you are not alone. In fact, a painful back is a very common condition today but there is no need to suffer with this condition. Sciatica is a common back issue which can be extremely painful and you can count on your Snellville chiropractor for professional help.

The word "sciatica" comes from the body's longest nerve, the sciatic nerve. This nerve serves the lower body and allows you to feel sensations in the lower back and legs. However, when problems with the sciatic nerve develop, your lower body could be racked with pain. This happens when the nerve has become injured or impinged.

The human spine is not a single solid structure. In fact it is made up of many smaller segments known as vertebrae, separated by spongy material called disks. These segments make the spine flexible and strong, and your spine also houses a large network of nerves which allow the brain to communicate with the body.

Creatures that walk upright can easily develop spinal problems due to the nature of their anatomy. If the spine becomes just a tiny bit out of alignment, it can impinge nerves and this can result in a wide range of painful issues. Sciatica is what happens when the lower back has become out of its normal alignment.

If the sciatic nerve is injured, pain may be felt in the low back, buttocks, or down the back of one's legs. In fact, it can sometimes be felt in the feet. It's usually confined to one side of the body and the pain may feel like burning, numbness, stabbing, electric shock, or a strange tingling sensation which is hard to describe.

Sciatica can totally disrupts one's life and make it hard to sleep or work. Thankfully, your Snellville chiropractic doctor has several methods, proven effective for sciatica pain relief. With the help of chiropractic adjustment, your spine can be restored to its natural alignment, and nerve pain may soon be a thing of the past.
