Sciatica Treatments

Sciatica is a common and often life-changing condition. Dr. Mark Carlo at Largo Injury Pain Relief Center in Largo, FL can help you achieve relief and prevent further pain.

Addressing Back Pain Due to Sciatica

Do you have a sharp, shooting pain from your lower back to the toes? It might be sciatica. Sciatica is a set of symptoms that occur when your sciatic nerve is compressed or otherwise irritated. This nerve is actually the longest nerve you have in your body. It runs from your lower back down to your toes. And when the nerve is damaged or irritated, you can feel pain and symptoms along that entire pathway.

In addition to the sharp, shooting pain mentioned above, sciatica may also reveal itself through the following symptoms:

  • Weakness or numbness in the leg or foot, possibly making it difficult to move
  • Burning or tingling sensations down one of the legs
  • Pain that gets worse as you sit and makes it hard to stand
  • Symptoms are only on one side of the body

Relieving Sciatica in Largo, FL

Sciatica may be common and debilitating, but it’s also very treatable through chiropractic care. The focus is on first addressing the irritation or damage to the nerve. Often, this requires a spinal adjustment as misalignment is usually to blame. Therefore, realigning the spine is the best course of action.

At times, sciatica is due to a herniated disc. Spinal decompression therapy is utilized to pull the disc back into place, relieving the pressure on the nerve. Physical therapy, chiropractic massage therapy, ultrasound therapy, and similar methods are also used to help relieve tension and pressure while restoring mobility and more.

If you’re living with sciatica symptoms, you’ll need a customized treatment plan to help you achieve relief. Dr. Carlo at Largo Injury Pain Relief Center is committed to ensuring every patient in need gets care that is personalized to their symptoms and the root cause of their pain.
