Denver Spinal Decompression: Effective Non-Surgical Sciatica Treatment

Although often referred to as the largest nerve in the human body, the so-called sciatic nerve is actually a collection of several nerves running from your lower back, under the buttock muscles, and all the way to your feet.

When one or more of these five individual nerves is compressed or irritated, that compression can trigger a set of symptoms that includes:

• Pain in the buttocks or leg that worsens when sitting
• Burning or tingling down the leg
• Weakness, numbness or difficulty moving the leg or foot
• Leg pain that is even more intense than the back pain

Denver sciatica treatment options from the Denver Integrated Spine Center

Spinal decompression is the most common treatment for sciatica pain and can be achieved through a number of treatment modalities, including surgery. The term spinal decompression itself describes the relief of pressure on any of the nerves in the spinal column.

At the Denver Integrated Spine Center our goal is to achieve spinal decompression through the following non-surgical modalities:

• Chiropractic – Dr. Randy Eldridge has been using chiropractic care as an effective Denver sciatica treatment for over 25 years
• Spinal flexion and distraction – a gentle, non-invasive method of Denver spinal decompression involving the use of a specialized table that gently distracts or stretches the spine, providing targeted, long-term pain relief
• Therapeutic massage – relieves the muscle tension that can aggravate pressure on the sciatic nerve

If these non-invasive Denver sciatica treatments are not effective, an onsite medical doctor is available to offer traditional medical assistance when necessary.
