Headaches and Sciatica Treatment
Chronic headaches and the debilitating pain that occurs with sciatica can both affect your life in a very negative way. New research now shows that there may actually be a link between headaches and back pain, which offers doctors of chiropractic new insight into planning effective sciatica treatment.
At Aligned Integrated Health in Scottsdale, AZ, Dr. Gerwig is dedicated to uncovering the underlying cause of his patients’ conditions, including herniated discs, muscle spasms, injuries that have healed improperly, and issues with posture or gait. Determining the root cause of your headaches and sciatica allows Dr. Gerwig to correct the issue through chiropractic headache and sciatica treatment.
The Link Between Headaches and Sciatica
Chronic headaches and lower back pain are two of the most common issues that cause people to seek chiropractic care. Now, researchers are finding that there may be a greater link between the two conditions than was previously known. This research has determined that the odds of experiencing one condition concurrently with another are about double – you are twice as likely to have both chronic headaches and chronic lower back pain at the same time.
What this means for you as a patient seeking sciatica treatment is that it is crucial to find a doctor of chiropractic who understands the link between the two conditions, and is dedicated to determining the underlying cause of both your sciatica and your chronic headaches.
Sciatica Treatment Offers Headache Relief
Because it is so common for people to experience both headaches and lower back pain, a joint approach is best when seeking chiropractic care and sciatica treatment. The combination of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and the investigation of ergonomic strategies in your everyday life can offer lasting relief for both conditions.
Sciatica can be caused by a number of underlying conditions, such as a herniated disc, muscle spasms, anterior pelvic problems, and even things like knee and foot problems that lead to imbalances and issues with gait. Dr. Gerwig will take a detailed patient history and make a thorough examination to determine what is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. Once the cause is discovered, Dr. Gerwig will develop a tailored sciatica treatment program to address the underlying cause of your headaches and sciatica pain.
