By Griselda Zernan Albao


For a lot of people, quality of life depends upon the ability to move around freely without any bodily restrictions. When one experiences pain in their legs, it can be difficult to do the basic things such as sitting, standing, walking and bending. For such situations, a San Antonio chiropractor may be able to provide relief in a quick and natural way.

Sciatica is one of the more common leg pain conditions. It is recognized by the pains, which may manifest in a full range of intensity, starting in the lower back region, or upper buttocks, and traveling down one or both legs. Because the sciatic nerve is the body's largest one, any compression on it may have debilitating results.

There are several disorders which may lead to one developing sciatica. Some of them are bulging or herniated discs, nerves being pinched by vertebrae, degenerative disc disease, tumors, spinal stenosis, and pregnancy. Obesity, wearing high heels, sleeping or sitting on lumpy surfaces, diabetes or constipation may also contribute to the situation.

In order to formulate a proper approach, a doctor must begin by determining exactly what has caused the conditions onset . Every patient is completely unique, so a full and complete diagnostic workup needs to be performed. This can be done through a review of the individual's medical history, a physical exam, an MRI, X-rays, a CAT scan or using electromyography to ascertain the level of nerve damage.

In order to alleviate an individual's pain, chiropractic doctors may employ a number of different techniques. Manual spinal adjustments are used most frequently for this purpose. Pressure is removed from the nerve when hands on force is applied to misaligned vertebrae to move them back into their correct position.

Depending on the cause and intensity of an individual's condition, there are other methods which may be employed. These include TENS therapy, ultrasound application, and the use of cold packs for inflammation. A full approach consisting of all natural solutions will be devised on per case basis.
