How Family First Chiropractic Eliminates Sciatica | Chiropractor for Sciatica in West Omaha, NE
Greetings, I’m Dr. Joel Marley with Family First Chiropractic. If you’re tuning into this, you’re likely curious about sciatica—a condition that manifests as a sharp, burning sensation or a numb and tingling feeling extending from your buttock down your leg.
The Nature of Sciatica
Sciatica typically stems from issues at the lower end of the spine, particularly the lower lumbar vertebrae, where the upper and lower halves of the body converge. This junction is inherently prone to instability and potential disc damage, which can lead to sciatica.
Common Causes
A prevalent cause of sciatica is prolonged sitting. Our modern lifestyle demands excessive sitting, which places undue stress on our spine. Additionally, disc inflammation is a significant factor. When a disc becomes inflamed, it can exert pressure on nearby nerves, leading to the characteristic symptoms of sciatica.
Our Unique Approach
As chiropractors, we possess a distinct perspective on diagnosing and addressing the root cause of sciatica. Our approach involves:
- A Detailed Examination: We use a set of five objective criteria to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms and determine whether they are correctable.
- Understanding Disc Damage: Recognizing that disc damage due to inflammation or pressure is often at the heart of sciatica.
- Customized Care: Based on our findings, we tailor a treatment plan aimed at addressing the specific issues contributing to your sciatica.
