When pressure is put on the sciatic nerve, it can cause severe discomfort, pain, and even numbness, all symptoms of a condition called sciatica. This common condition can be improved with quality chiropractic care using spinal decompression. Spine and Rehabilitation of Morris performs gentle spinal decompression for sciatica patients in Cedar Knolls, NJ.

How Chiropractors Treat Sciatica

Your first visit to Spine and Rehabilitation Center of Morris begins with a thorough examination of your sciatica. We will ask you questions about your lifestyle to help determine the cause of your condition, as well as your trigger points. Understanding your lifestyle allows us to create a specialized treatment plan that works for you.

One of the most common treatments for sciatica is spinal decompression. This is when a specially designed machine gently stretches the spine, taking pressure off the sciatic nerve. Spinal decompression is not painful, and involves minimal discomfort for most patients. Stretching the spine is an important way to take pressure off your sciatic nerve, which can provide instant pain relief. 

Done over the course of several weeks or longer, spinal decompression and other chiropractic adjustments can alter the natural position of your spine, ending your sciatica pain. Spinal decompression can improve sciatica symptoms, and it works to reverse your condition without the need for surgery or prescription painkillers. 

In addition to spinal decompression, our team can provide you with practical lifestyle advice to prevent your sciatica from returning. Chiropractic care is effective, but without proper posture and lifestyle habits, you may be at risk of future sciatica pain. That is why we help our patients every step of the way—so you can get back to doing the activities you love.
