If you have back pain in Destrehan, we can determine if it is sciatica. Dr. Roussel at Riverbend Chiropractic will determine if your tingling is a result of sciatica or something else.
Sciatica is a condition that results from pain that relates to the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is long, the longest nerve you have. It runs along the back and divides and goes over the buttocks to the legs down to the feet. Usually, the pain is only on one side, but it can be on both. The result is a burning, tingling pain that travels along the nerve.
The main symptom is the radiating pain that runs from the back down to the leg. If it is a severe case, there may be weakness and numbness as well.
Sciatica can be the result of an injury that damages the disc. When the disc bulges or herniates, it creates pressure on the sciatic nerve. Being overweight, lifting things wrongly, sitting in an awkward position, and just deteriorating due to aging can all contribute to sciatica.
Spinal disc decompression is a procedure that helps relieve the pressure that is being placed on the sciatic nerve. Patients lie on their backs on a specifically designed table that is operated by a computer program. The table moves to stretch the spine in a gentle pain-free action. When the spine is stretched, the disc can move back into its original place. It may take more than one treatment. Following treatment, exercise is an important part of recovery to continue recovery.
