Sciatica Treatment in Melbourne CBD

casual-man-with-back-pain-sqSciatica is a general term for pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks down each leg. This condition often occurs when the lumbar nerves in the lower spine are irritated. This irritation can cause referred leg pain, weakness, or numbness.

The root causes of sciatica can vary, from disc injuries to nerve damage or even muscle tightness, such as hypertonicity of the piriformis muscle.

How Chiropractic Care May Help

After a thorough assessment and examination, and with patient consent, chiropractic care can be beneficial for addressing sciatica. Dr Zukerman (Chiropractor) will provide a course of care that typically involves adjustments to the lower back and other parts of the spine and nervous system. Monitoring progress is vital, and the care plan may include trigger point therapy, soft tissue work, and various chiropractic techniques.
