How can I treat my Sciatica?
Sciatica is best treated by first seeing your Chiropractor. Chiropractic has a very high success rate with low back pain and Sciatica. Less than 2% of patients that see a Chiropractor first for low back pain end up getting surgery. Your Chiropractor treats Sciatica by finding what is creating the pressure and correcting the cause. In most cases this is due to a misalignment in the spine and your Chiropractor through specific gentle chiropractic adjustments will correct these misalignments so that you can begin the healing process.
How long does it take to heal?
Sciatica healing times vary depending on the severity and how long you wait to get treatment, some cases may take several months. Most patients however do begin to feel relief within the first few weeks of treatment.
