Sciatica Pain Relief in St Paul

Sciatica Pain Relief in St Paul

Since the world has changed and more people are working from home than ever before, there has been a definite rise in different pain and ailments. One of the many complaints we’ve been hearing lately is sciatica pain. While this pain may largely be due to the change in ergonomics from the office to the home, St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center is here to both repair the issues and prevent your sciatic nerve pain from returning once again.

Sciatica is a condition in which the tension

of your sciatic nerve begins to cause pain in your legs. This pain can feel awful, running down the entire leg starting at the hip, causing excruciating pain, numbness and discomfort. Sciatica can be caused by any number of issues that pinches or puts pressure on the nerve. So, if you have sciatic nerve pain, what can you do to alleviate it?

Pinpointing The Source Of Sciatica Pain

When sciatica strikes, it can be debilitating. Applying any pressure at all to your leg can feel like a small irritation or a lightning bolt shooting down the backside of your buttocks and thigh. Don’t let this pain rule your life. Finding the origin of your sciatic pain will help your body begin to heal faster and stronger. At St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center, we will work to find the contributing factors that led to this problem. Whether it’s a herniated disc from your ergonomics at home or it’s too much activity, our team here at St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center takes a comprehensive approach in finding the contributing factors that led to your pain.

Therapeutic Sciatica Treatment

At St. Paul Chiropractic & Natural Medicine Center, we offer noninvasive forms of treatments that allow your body to heal itself. There are no knives, needles or surgery needed for the treatment of sciatica. Chiropractic care works to manipulate your spine and realign it once again, promoting healing from the inside out. We also offer to work on loosening the areas around the damaged area, creating more blood flow and alleviating pain. Furthermore, we will coach you through all different types of exercises and stretches that you can perform at home, empowering you in your road to recovery.
