Sciatica is one of the most painful conditions to struggle with. At The Vitality Center in Hauppauge, NY, we know how debilitating this condition can be and want to help you get your life back. That’s why Dr. Jason Pape and our chiropractic care team are here to provide you with natural and effective treatment.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a chronic condition that is caused by the compression of the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs from the lower back down the leg, and when it is compressed, it can cause extreme back pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Sciatica can be caused by a variety of things, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, pregnancy, and obesity.

How Will a Chiropractor Diagnose Sciatica?

To provide you with the best possible treatment, our chiropractor will need to first diagnose the cause of your sciatica. This will be done through a physical examination and a review of your medical history.

Our chiropractor may also order imaging tests, such as an MRI, to get a better look at the structures in your spine and see if there is any pressure on the sciatic nerve. If your pain is due to sciatica, your chiropractor will develop a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to treat the compressed sciatic nerve.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

One of the best ways to find relief from sciatica is through chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free way to treat sciatica that can provide long-lasting relief. At The Vitality Center, Dr. Jason Pape will create a customized treatment plan for your sciatica that may include spinal manipulation, massages, and exercises.

Best Chiropractic Treatments for Sciatica

While everyone is different, one of the most effective treatments for sciatica is spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is a chiropractic treatment that gently stretches the spine to take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. This treatment is often combined with other chiropractic treatments, such as spinal manipulation, for maximum relief. Other treatment options will be determined by the team at The Vitality Center based on the severity of your sciatica and the underlying cause, such as massage therapy or trigger point therapy.
