How do chiropractors help sciatic pain?
Sciatic pain is a common thing that chiropractors treat. It first thing to do is find out where the sciatic nerve is being pinched. If if is soft tissue tightness that is causing the problem then physiotherapy is in order. If there is a joint dysfunction in the area causing the problem then chiropractic adjustments are the remedy. Of course the underlying problem that may have caused the muscle imbalance or joint impairment would need to be addressed as well, something your chiropractor is trained to detect. READ MORE
How can you relieve the pain from a pinched nerve?
Your Chiropractor will assess the biomechanics of the shoulder and surrounding joints and muscles to determine where the "pinch" is coming from. If the source of the problem is coming from the spine or other joints surrounding the shoulder then the Doctor will give adjust the joint and relieve the pressure on the nerve. If the source is muscle or soft tissue based, then physiotherapy is in order. Your chiropractor may or may not do soft tissue therapy at their office but I would say most do. READ MORE
