Sciatica Relief in Calgary SW
If you experience any of the following symptoms of sharp, shooting pain, numbness, tingling sensations, and weakness in your leg, you’re likely dealing with sciatica.
What Is It?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Here are some of the reasons why people experience sciatica:
- Herniated or bulging discs in the spine
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis (slipped vertebra)
- Piriformis syndrome (compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle)
The NUCCA Approach to Treatment
NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic care focuses on the relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and its impact on the central nervous system. By ensuring proper alignment of the atlas (the first vertebra in the spine), NUCCA chiropractors like Dr. Ryan aim to restore balance and function throughout the body, including the lower back and legs.
How We Can Help
Our services may include:
Initial Assessment: Dr. Ryan will thoroughly evaluate your medical history, perform orthopedic and neurological tests, and use diagnostic imaging to pinpoint the root cause of your sciatica.
NUCCA Adjustments: Using gentle, precise adjustments, Dr. Ryan will correct any misalignments in your upper cervical spine, relieving pressure on the nerves and promoting optimal nerve function.
Therapeutic Class IV Laser Therapy: Our class IV laser uses red and near infrared wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into tissues and stimulate healing within the body. This therapy is designed to increase cellular activity, which can lead to reduced pain and inflammation, enhanced blood circulation, improved range of motion, and accelerated tissue repair. Dr. Brown’s class IV laser has specific treatment protocols for Sciatica pain.
Therapeutic Exercises: Our team will prescribe targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and prevent future sciatica flare-ups.
