Sciatica Nerve Pain Relief

If you are a Commerce area resident suffering from Sciatica nerve pain, it's important to seek the proper treatment that addresses the root cause. At Family Chiropractic and Wellness, our patients benefit from our advanced Sciatica treatments that do not involve twisting/cracking, or drugs and surgery of any kind!

Sciatica refers to specific conditions caused by subluxations in the lower back (lumbar) area. Subluxations, in this case, are herniated and compressed discs that pinch and obstruct the sciatic nerve. Symptoms of Sciatica include significant pain, discomfort, tightness, and tingling radiating through the buttocks, hips, and down the legs into the feet.

Activator Adjustments

Dr. Jason Ellis at the Michigan Family Chiropractic and Wellness clinic uses a state-of-the-art adjustment tool called an "Activator" to provide precise adjustments to the lumbar area. This technique is extremely gentle, and manipulates vertebrate in the lower back area to relieve pressure on the pinched nerves that cause Sciatica. This technique is so safe, in fact, that it's widely used on infants, small children, and seniors at our office!

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Lumbar decompression is a widely used Chiropractic treatment that is proven to offer effective Sciatica pain relief. At our office, Dr. Jason Ellis uses a decompression table to gently stretch and elongate the lumbar (lower back) portion of the spine. This method helps to restore flexibility, realigns the vertebrae, and removes pressure on the discs and pinched nerves. Lumbar decompression therapy, coupled with Activator adjustments and specific exercises, provides powerful and effective relief for Sciatica pain!

Corrective Exercises

Successful treatment for Sciatica pain isn't just achieved in our office, our Sciatica patients receive maximum benefits from the corrective exercises assigned to them from Dr. Ellis. Sciatica, depending on the specific case, can cause extreme muscle tightness and discomfort down the buttocks, hips, and legs. This muscle tightness can cause long term damage to your muscle functionality, so it's crucial to exercise and stretch the muscles in these areas in order to combat these conditions. Dr. Ellis will evaluate your condition and prescribe tailored exercises and stretches for you to perform at home. These exercises, coupled with adjustments at our office, will provide effective and long-lasting Sciatica back pain relief!
