At some point in every person’s life, lower back pain will strike to some degree or another. This is one of the most common forms of musculo-skeletal pain there is, and it can be down to a huge number of different causes and effects. Whilst many people head to their doctor’s surgery and are often prescribed powerful drugs to get them through the bout of back pain, until it settles, there are many people who don’t find relief from this, and end up suffering associated side-effects instead, with little relief from their original complaint.
Does this sound like your situation?
If so, you will be pleased to know that help is certainly at hand. See a chiropractor! Perth residents often report benefit from their care.
You might have heard of sciatica, and this is a condition which goes hand in hand with back pain, and is often caused by trapped or compressed nerves in the back, namely the sciatic nerve, causing extreme pain in many cases, and discomfort in the best case scenario. Whilst a bout of sciatica can simply go on its own occasionally, there are times when this is more prolonged, causing the sufferer extreme discomfort and a myriad of associated symptoms, which are extremely unpleasant to say the least.
Here at Spine Scan we appreciate just how uncomfortable and distressing sciatica and lower back pain can be, whether this is prolonged or a simple bout, and we understand that powerful medications don’t always work for everyone – one size never fits all. We use effective and gentle chiropractic methods to provide a conservative, medication-free treatment option, which has been shown to be very successful in the treatment of such conditions.
Of course, just like with any problem in the body, it is important to have a thorough assessment first, to find the exact root cause of the pain, and ascertain whether chiropractic treatment is right for the individual; if this is not the case, then referral to the correct healthcare professional will be done. Despite this, chiropractic methods are suitable for many individuals.
The symptoms of sciatica can be wide-ranging, but generally involve pain on coughing, sneezing or laughing, pain which worsens after sitting for a while, weakness, numbness, tingling, and a burning sensation, which shoots down the leg, cramp in the thigh, and general shooting pains of varying severity.
Chiropractic is a great go-to for those who have tried drugs in the past for their lower back pain and sciatica issues, and who haven’t found any relief from them, or those who find the side effects too difficult to deal with. If this sounds like your situation, and you’re keen to discuss how chiropractic methods could help you, don’t hesitate to call the practice now on (08) 6150 8783 to arrange an appointment.
We may be able to help you look forward to a pain-free future, all with the help of gentle and conservative management methods.
