Sciatica Chiropractor
Sciatica occurs when a herniated disc in the spine presses on the sciatica nerve. The pain travels along the path of the sciatica nerve, from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. It is one of the most common types of pain but is often misunderstood. Around 40% of people will get it, which will become frequent as you age. Sometimes, it happens due to an injury or wear and tear; certain conditions can worsen it. However, many risk factors can often lead to sciatica, such as sitting for long hours, obesity, etc. It causes severe discomfort and functional limitations. The most common symptoms of sciatica include:
- Pain that radiates down to the leg
- Numbness
- Weakness
- Difficulty in movement
Sometimes, complications can develop if the pressure is not relieved. Many possible complications of unrelieved nerve compression include:
- Increased pain
- A slipped or herniated disc
- Loss of feeling or weakness in the leg
- Permanent nerve damage
- Loss of bowel or bladder function
Do not Mask Your Pain
Sciatica is uncomfortable and can delimit your functional abilities. One can experience severe pain affecting simple movements like standing, sitting, or lying down. Some people prefer chiropractic care as it can help manage long-term pain rather than masking it with medications. It is natural for people to try options for their pain, and they would have tried many treatment options before going forward with chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is easy to find; you can research the chiropractors that will accept your health insurance. You may consult your primary physician, but getting a referral to a chiropractor isn't necessary.
How is Sciatica Diagnosed?
If someone has a history of leg pain or pain below the knee, it should raise suspicion of sciatica. The chiropractor will learn about the onset of pain, what triggers it, and complete information about the patient's medical condition and symptoms. Then, perform a physical examination, such as MRI, X-rays, and electrodiagnostic tests. Usually, a combination of positive findings on examination increases the likelihood of sciatica. The chiropractor will provide a personalized treatment plan for the patient. A spinal manipulation can free any restricted spine movement and help restore vertebrae to their proper position. The adjustment can help reduce nerve irritability responsible for inflammation, muscle spasms, pain, and other symptoms related to sciatica.
Spinal adjustments are not painful, safe, and effective. Chiropractic treatment allows the body to heal itself. Isn't it great! So, make the most of chiropractic treatment and find relief from sciatica pain. Start by scheduling an appointment with Travis Chiropractic at (918) 303-8200 today.

I found Dr. Travis via a referral from my most recent chiropractor in Dallas. I've used a few different doctors for my back problems (whiplash etc) and Dr. Travis was definitely the best. He's very knowledgeable about all things medical of course, but what struck me the most is how I could go in during a treatment and mention (very vaguely I might add) where my pain was that particular day, and he could not only pinpoint the issue, but also treat the problem and I'd leave having the pain immediately resolved. He's an amazing doctor in that sense, but he is also very empathetic and kind. I highly recommend going to see Dr. Travis if you're having back issues.

I have been going to Dr. Travis for years. He was my only relief when I had sciatic nerve flare up. Always professional, willing to research to resolve, and knows & cares about his patients. His staff is always friendly and helpful. The facility is beautiful and clean. Easy access from the Creek Turnpike. Hands down the best!

I have been seeing Dr Travis for almost 3 years now and I will never go to another chiropractor other than Dr Travis. Dr Travis is a miracle worker for waitresses (which I was for 6 years) and now he works miracles on my back from sitting at a desk! Absolutely amazing women running the front desk. They are so accommodating and nice!
