Byers Chiropractic treats sciatic nerve injury from auto accidents
The sciatic nerve is found in the lower back and continues through the hip and all the way down each leg. Car accident injuries cause back pain and injury, often displacing or damaging discs in the spine. This damage can pinch the sciatic nerve, leading to intense pain on either side of the body, which can develop into sciatica.
Treatment of early symptoms is often effective at managing sciatica. Some symptoms can be managed at home, but going to a chiropractor will help reduce sciatic nerve pain and help correct the pinched nerve at the source. At Byers Chiropractic & Massage: Car Accident Urgent Care, we have experience recognizing and treating sciatica through orthopedic testing and gentle chiropractic manipulation.
If you’re experiencing pain in your lower back, hip, or leg, watch out for these symptoms of sciatica:
- Radiating pain that originates in the lower spine
- Pain going down the backside of your thigh
- Sharp, burning pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Inflammation
These symptoms can be painful to experience, so seeking treatment can provide effective relief to help you get back to everyday life without pain. In addition to chiropractic care, we also offer physical therapy plans which can help strengthen and heal your body and reduce the pain from sciatica.
