What should I avoid if I have sciatica?
It is important to maintain mobility through stretching exercises and foam rolling. Proper muscle and joint care will ensure that pressure isn't placed on the sciatic nerve. Areas you want to focus on are low back and leg stretches and foam rolling. The glutes are a common area for causation of symptoms so you want to have a routine that includes these muscles. If these activities don't help it's time to get professional guidance but if you are just wanting prevention, Google foam roller exercises for low back pain/sciatic as well as low back and leg stretches. Hope this helps answer your question. READ MORE
How long does a chiropractic adjustment take to work for shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain can be helped in one visit if it's related to an impingement if the doctor is trained in soft tissue. My goto protocol is Active Release Techniques and it's very specific for addressing shoulders. You can find a provider at www.activerelease.com. Please remember that you will have to do your home exercises to assist healing and the above advice is assuming the condition is related to mobility versus an injury. READ MORE
How long do chiropractic hip adjustments last?
Thanks for your question. Technique and soft tissue restriction can complicate this question. Further, most patients refer to the “hip” but mean the pelvis which would have different answers. With my patients, if there is a hip issue, it’s usually adjusted axially and with the pelvis, I will correct anterior and/or posterior movement and then address what glute muscles are weak and have them do a home exercise program. I hope this helps! Dr. Joseph Hugunin, D.C. READ MORE
