These symptoms can greatly impact your quality of life. They can make it difficult to work, exercise, or even complete simple tasks like grocery shopping or household chores. They can also have a negative impact on your mental health, leading to feelings of frustration, anxiety, and depression. Because of its impact on the body, constantly dealing with and managing back pain or sciatica can significantly impact your daily life, including:
-
Having to miss work for periods of time, leading to less earning potential
-
Unable to care for your family or loved ones in the way you want
-
Avoiding social gatherings & activities that are outside of your physical comfort zone because of potential pain
-
Struggling to get out of bed in the morning or into and out of your car
It is no surprise that these symptoms and the reduced lifestyle they result in, resonates with so many people. Because of the wide variety of potential secondary conditions, sciatica can be a very loose diagnosis with no effective long term treatment plan under the standard medical approach. Some common treatments prescribed for sciatica include anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, physical therapy, hot/cold packs, corticosteroid injections, and even surgery. These treatments have the potential to help manage the pain, though none of these address the root cause of the issue.
Structural issues require structural solutions. Imagine a life where you can go day-to-day without sciatica or back pain holding you back. A life where you can enjoy the present with more confidence in your ability to live a full life doing what you love.
I've tried everything! How is Platinum Chiropractic different?
At Platinum Chiropractic, we focus on Neuro-Structural Correction. Unlike conventional chiropractic care, which focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause of the problem. Neuro-Structural Correction aims to correct the underlying issue by addressing the Neuro-Structural Shifts that are causing the nerve pressure, back pain, and sciatic pain.
With our state of the art equipment we can objectively test for the presence of Neuro-Structural Shifts in the spine, finding the problem that directly correlates to the cause of back pain and sciatica.
By identifying and addressing a Neuro-Structural Shift, we can help to restore proper function to the spine, taking pressure off the muscles, tendons, discs, and nerves. At that point, people begin to notice the symptoms of back pain and sciatica improving as a result of better alignment and mobility in the spine.
Once we have identified the underlying causes of your pain, we create a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs. Our techniques are gentle and non-invasive, and we always prioritize our patients’ comfort and safety.
Don’t let chronic back pain or sciatica control your life any longer. Schedule a Complimentary Consultation today and take the first step towards regaining your life.
