Sciatica & Leg Pain Running down the back of your legs from the low back is the longest nerve of the body called the sciatic nerve. When this nerve is irritated or pinched causing radiating pain form the low back into the legs, it is referred to as sciatica. THE MEDICAL APPROACH The medical approach to sciatica is symptom treatment with painkillers, muscle relaxers, and orthopedic devices such as traction and physical therapy. Sciatica is particuarly frustrating to treat with drugs, because, in many cases even strong painkillers bring little or no relief. However, relief may be obtained by injecting painkillers directly into the nerve roots. As with all painkillers, there is a risk of dependency. Orthopedic surgery may be resorted to if the pain persists. THE CHIROPRACTIC APPROACHThe
Chiropractic approach is to restore proper positioning and spinal
mechanics to the low back removing nerve impingement and relieving
sciatica. |
