Struggling with Sciatica?

Sciatica in Silver Spring MD and Gaithersburg MD is a condition that causes pain in the low back, down the back of the leg, and into the foot. You may have difficulty sitting for long periods of time due to shooting or burning pain, tingling, and numbness in the leg and foot. When the vertebrae in the low back are compressed, the roots of the sciatic nerve become irritated or impinged (aka a “pinched nerve”) which causes the pain and symptoms.

Chiropractic Care For Sciatica

Chiropractic care can help alleviate sciatic pain. Spinal decompression therapy is one of the most effective chiropractic procedures that treats sciatica by gently relieving the pressure on the nerves. This therapy is used to relieve the the immediate symptoms well as to allow the body along its natural healing process.

Many patients respond very favorably to Cox® Spinal Decompression Therapy from my personal experience. Many patients go from having intense, disabling sciatica at the initial visit, to being able to go about many daily activities within a few weeks. However, this doesn't mean your condition is gone. This is only the beginning of care. But you are now on your way to being out of pain and realizing that there is hope for full recovery. Rates of recovery depend on the severity of your condition, but our chiropractic care has helped many patients recover from debilitating pain.
