Leg pain/Sciatica/slipped or herniated discs
Back pain and sciatica can be very effectively treated by chiropractic care. Sciatica is more a symptom of the bigger picture. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and is positioned in the lower back and runs down the legs.
All the muscles in the legs get their nerve supply from the sciatic nerve and when the sciatic nerve has some troubles it can respond and warn you with signs such as numbness, tingling, pins + needles, burning sensation, shooting pains and weakness. Sometimes the leg may feel tired or weak and at other times may experience pains.
The signs can indicate that the sciatic nerve is trapped and the pain is caused when the nerve root in the lower spine is trapped or aggravated by badly positioned vertebrae or slipped disc. The mal positioned vertebrae can also result in purely leg pain without lower back pain.
Headaches
Ever more people are turning to chiropractic care to help relieve headaches such as migraines and tension/stress or cluster headaches, and to treat the causes. No longer do people rely purely on tablet form pain relievers.
