Best Treatment for Sciatica at SoCal Chiropractic

Did you know that up to 40% of people will experience sciatica at least once in their lives? This is a type of pain felt along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through each leg. Visiting our Costa Mesa chiropractor at So Cal Chiropractic can help you find relief from sciatica so you can get back to your regular routine without pain and discomfort.

Sciatica Pain Causes

Sciatica pain is typically caused by a pinch in the sciatic nerve. This can be the result of a herniated disc or a bone spur that forms on the bones of the spine. Both of these issues become more common as the spine changes with age. They are also more common in people who are overweight, as excess body weight puts more stress on the spine. Certain occupations can also increase a person’s risk of suffering from a herniated disc or bone spur, such as those that require lifting heavy equipment, movement that twists the spine, or spending long periods of time driving. People with diabetes are also at a greater risk for developing herniated discs and bone spurs that can cause sciatica, as this condition increases the body’s risk of nerve damage.

Sciatica Pain Treatment Options

No matter what is causing your sciatica pain, you can visit our chiropractor in Costa Mesa to find relief. Dr. Thayer developed his own chiropractic method, called the Thayer Chiropractic Method. This unique solution focuses on restoring balance to the entire spine, from top to bottom. Dr. Thayer will start by talking to you about your symptoms and taking x-rays to determine what is causing your pain. Next, he will create a treatment plan to restore balance to the skull and neck, which will then restore balance to the rest of the spine.
