Find Lasting Relief From Sciatica With Chiropractic

Sciatica is a condition that affects the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. While some individuals experience occasional discomfort, others endure chronic pain due to factors like lifestyle, stress, or injury. Prolonged sitting, poor posture, or physical trauma are common triggers that can worsen the condition.

Some people have severe sciatica. They cannot sit for long periods of time because there’s more pressure on the nerve; an active person sometimes, if they’re moving around, feels less pain, but when they begin to slow down or lie down or sit down, it’s when the pain gets worse

Common Causes and Triggers

Chronic sciatica often stems from unresolved underlying issues such as herniated discs, spinal misalignments, or pelvic instability. Many people overlook habits that worsen sciatica, such as improper lifting techniques, sleeping positions, or prolonged use of high-heeled shoes. Even emotional stress can tighten muscles and contribute to nerve compression. Paying attention to what activities cause the most pain is an important factor in your healing.

Helping You Prevent Permanent Damage

Untreated sciatica may lead to muscle atrophy or permanent nerve damage. Early chiropractic intervention at Majer Chiropractic Wellness Center is crucial to realigning the spine and pelvis, relieving pressure on the nerve, and restoring function. Complementary therapies like acupuncture or specific stretches can further enhance recovery.

Pelvic misalignments can be a root cause of sciatic pain. Dr. Majer uses chiropractic adjustments to correct these imbalances and ensure proper weight distribution, better posture, and reduced nerve compression to provide lasting relief.

Daily Habits to Avoid & How to Maintain Results

Slouching, sitting for extended periods, or wearing unsupportive shoes are common culprits that aggravate sciatica. Incorporating ergonomic practices at work and home can significantly reduce pain. And don’t let fashion outweigh comfort and support when buying new shoes.

For results that last, patients should follow a personal care plan that includes regular chiropractic visits, core-strengthening exercises, and maintaining an active lifestyle. Staying consistent with these practices ensures long-term relief and prevention.
