Louisville Sciatica Treatment
What is sciatica? This is a when the sciatic nerve - the largest nerve in the body - is inflamed. The big question is - what causes this inflammation? This could be a result of several issues. The first is pregnancy. Many women late in their pregnancy experience sciatic pain. Bulging and herniated discs can also cause this type of pain. Another condition, called piriformis syndrome, can also cause sciatic pain.
So, what can be done for this? Conventional treatments can consist of epidural shots, pain pills, surgery or physical therapy.
A more conservative approach is taken by Dr. Randall Wheeler DC, a Chiropractor in Louisville, KY. In working with these cases, the first step is to do a thorough evaluation to determine the cause of the pain whether it be a disc or muscular in origin. Then, the next step is to use the most conservative treatment available such as manipulation, cold laser therapy, manual therapy or spinal decompression. In some cases, a combination of these therapies may be utilized. By addressing the cause rather than the symptom, permanent relief can by reached.
