Our Chiropractic Sciatica Treatment Options at Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health
Sciatica is a collection of symptoms that occur when your sciatic nerve is injured, damaged, or compressed. Symptoms include a burning, stabbing, or itching pain that radiates from your lower back down one leg, numbness, tingling, or weakness in your leg or foot, trouble standing or walking, and pain that increases when you walk, cough, sneeze, laugh, or move. At Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health, our chiropractors offer all-natural sciatica treatment in Port Orchard, WA.
Chiropractic Adjustments Using the Activator Method
Our chiropractors at Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health use the Activator Method to perform chiropractic adjustments. The Activator Method is a gentle, low-force manual manipulation of the spine. We utilize a small handheld device that is spring-loaded. We apply the device to the soft tissues around the lumbar spine, and the device delivers a quick thrust that is painless. It is gentle on the spine, precise, and highly effective for sciatica symptoms. We can use it to address spinal misalignments that are compressing or irritating the sciatic nerve.
Cold Laser Therapy and Light Therapy
Cold laser therapy and light therapy use low levels of laser light to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. As the light enters your body, it increases the production of healing chemicals and hormones that can relieve pain and inflammation, accelerate healing of nerves and tissues, and increase mobility and range of motion.
Therapeutic Exercises and Stretches
Our chiropractors at Kitsap Chiropractic and Natural Health will guide you through a series of therapeutic exercises and stretches that lengthen and strengthen the muscles that support and stabilize the spine. These exercises relieve sciatica symptoms by loosening tight muscles, improving flexibility and mobility, and strengthening core muscles. When you commit to doing them every day or every other day, you will notice that it’s easier to go about your daily routine without pain.
Posture Correction
Poor posture can contribute to or worsen sciatica symptoms. We can do a thorough assessment of your posture to identify dysfunction and misalignments. We will guide you through exercises, strength training, and lifestyle modification programs that improve your posture and relieve pressure on your sciatic nerve and lumbar spine.
