Prevention of Sciatica
A common diagnosis we see with patients being referred to us by doctors is sciatica. Sciatica is pain that originates in your lower back and travels down your leg sometimes reaching to your foot. This pain is caused when your sciatic nerve is irritated, inflammed or compressed. Sciatica can last days, weeks or even months. The chances of getting sciatica increases with age. Sciatica can be debilitating, good news is there are ways to prevent it!

Lower Back Pain? We Can Help!
Your lower back pain can be the result of many different things. The pain could be attributed to overuse, muscle strain, and/or injuries to the muscles, ligament and discs that support the spine. Injuries left untreated can lead to muscle imbalances of the spine. This will make the back more prone to injury or re-injury.
