How a Chiropractor Can Help With Sciatic Nerve Pain

The sciatic nerve is a large nerve that runs throughout the lower back and thighs; unfortunately, when excessive pressure is placed on the sciatic nerve, the pain can be significant. In some cases, those suffering from sciatic nerve pain have a hard time completing daily tasks and obligations. Often times, sciatic nerve pain is triggered when the spine becomes compressed or is thrown out of alignment, resulting in pressure being placed on the nerve itself.

At Peterson Chiropractic, we’re proud to be West Valley City’s trusted chiropractor and chiropractic clinic. We specialize in providing local patients with the specialize chiropractic care they need to lead healthier and happier lives. One of the more common symptoms we address and treat here in our office is that of sciatic nerve pain.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatic Nerve Pain

The good news is that there are natural, non-invasive, and drug-free chiropractic treatment options available for those suffering from sciatic nerve pain. In our office, we find that spinal decompression is often an effective technique. Specifically, this method involves the use of a mechanical table to gently decompress the vertebrae of the spine, thus relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and treating the source of your pain.

In cases where poor spinal alignment is suspected to be the cause, a chiropractic adjustment may also be recommended as a means of gently manipulating the spine back into proper alignment. This, in turn, can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and provide much-needed relief from ongoing sciatic nerve pain. In some cases, a chiropractic adjustment may be recommended in conjunction with spinal decompression.
