Conditions:
Sciatica
Treatments for sciatica include spinal decompression, mechanical traction therapy, laser therapy, electric stimulation therapy, flexion/distraction therapy, vibration plate therapy, home stretching and strengthening exercises.
CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
Sciatica can develop from different causes due to how the nerve travels through the body. Most commonly, it gets pinched in the lower lumbar spine which irritates the nerve causing sharp pain. Sciatica can come on suddenly, or slowly over time, depending on where and how the nerve is pinched.
RISK FACTORS
There are a number of factors which can contribute to a higher risk of developing sciatica: Bad spinal alignment and posture, Disc herniations (Bulging disc), Spinal arthritis, Physically demanding jobs , or Spending a long time sitting.
Each of these scenarios puts pressure on the nerve in a different way, but the end result remains the same. No matter what the root cause is, the pain from sciatica can make it hard to perform even the simplest tasks, such as getting out of bed and walking.
I initially went in for upper back pain and after completing the treatment program, I feel like a whole new person. The care I have received was very thorough. The staff is awesome, they are all very friendly, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
