Looking for Sciatic Pain Relief?

I use a combination of chiropractic techniques to help alleviate sciatic pain, including Applied Kinesiology and Cox Flexion-Distraction (spinal decompression).

When treating a patient with sciatic nerve pain, I first evaluate the muscles that support the lumbar spine and pelvis to find the ones that are malfunctioning. These are corrected and then the alignment of the lumbar vertebrae and pelvic bones is corrected.

The attention is then shifted to the localized structures that are injured and failing to support the lumbar and pelvic joints properly. These can include specialized treatments for ligaments, muscles, skin and joints. This is followed by an analysis of how the person walks, moves, and their occupational positions.

Finally, attention is directed to corrective procedures that can help stabilize and strengthen the structures surrounding the lumbar spine and pelvis to help prevent future sciatic nerve injuries. Nutritional therapies aimed at increasing factors that would speed healing and reduce any inflammation are considered.

Other lifestyle modifications are used to prevent or minimize exacerbating the condition. A specific program for your needs is created.

For help with sciatic pain relief, call my office at (765) 969-5891 to schedule an appointment. I provide a holistic approach that my patients have come to appreciate and rely on.
