When people are diagnosed with sciatica, they tend to think that medicine will be their only cure. Dr. Scott M. Pint, in Pittsburg, PA, helps our patients to recover from the pain they are experiencing as a result of sciatica.
request an appointmentSciatica causes pain to so many people, but with the right treatment you pain can be a distant memory.
We have been offering our services to patients who have been having hard times as a result of sciatica.
We do more than just treat the symptoms our patients suffer from. We identify the cause of a person’s sciatica so that we can select the best methods of treatment and functionally treat the root of the problem.
Causes of sciatica
- Acute injuries
- Wear and tear of the spine
- Nerve pressure as a result of a bulging disc or tight muscles
- Trauma
- Tumors in the spine
- Lumbar spinal stenosis
Many of the patients who visit our chiropractic center experience different symptoms, so we do conduct tests to diagnose the exact condition that they are experiencing. No other “chiropractor near me” has a reputation for treating sciatica patients like our chiropractors do. The following are some of the chiropractic treatment techniques that we use with the patients that are suffering from sciatica:
Cold Therapy
This treatment technique involves using ice to reduce the inflammation caused by sciatica. When inflammation is reduced, the pain caused by sciatica is relieved.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy generates small amounts of heat, which penetrate the muscles and other soft tissues. Ultrasound creates sound waves that penetrate deep into tissues. These sound waves function as a micro massage, reducing inflammation and therefore pain.
Spinal Adjustments
Sciatica can be caused by spinal misalignments. Using chiropractic techniques, we can resolve those misalignments, relieving the symptoms of a person’s sciatica.
