Sciatica nerve root pain relief treatments make up the bulk of treatments that I perform on a daily basis as a Chiropractor in Philadelphia. The problem with treating sciatica is that most people wait until the pain is excruciating. The severity of the problem can prevent people from participating in the normal activities of their daily life that they would usually do each and every day.
In fact most people wait until their pain is so bad that they cannot even get out of bed. And if they can get out of bed they need help getting dressed and even tying their shoes because they cannot bend forward or lift their leg. At this point the condition is so far gone that it can be very difficult to help and may take quite a bit of time to finally get some relief.
So my number one tip on how to get rid of sciatica pain is to consult your Doctor at the first symptoms of your pain. Your Doctor will order the appropriate diagnostic studies if indicated and can usually refer you to a good Chiropractor for pain relief therapy and the Doctor will probably recommend an anti-inflammatory medication as well.
Sciatica pain relief massage is also highly recommended. Now this is not the every day spa type of massage that you are use to but it is a special type of massage that will relax the muscles surrounding the nerve and may possibly be entrapping it.
Spinal elongation is a time tested sure fire method of helping alleviate sciatic pain. Most good Chiropractors can help you by teaching you exercises that you can do on your own at home to reduce your symptoms. But if your condition is so bad that these exercises do not help you then most Chiropractic offices have Spinal Decompression Tables that are very effective at relieving your pain. Believe me because I speak from personal experience. If it were not for these great machines many of my fellow Chiropractors as well as I would not be able to continue practice because of the physical demands we place on our bodies.
So in summary:
See your Medical Doctor as soon as your pain starts and follow his or her recommendations.
Specialized massage for sciatica pain is very effective.
Spinal elongation plus Chiropractic treatments often times effectively get rid of your pain when all other methods fail.
