Phoenix, AZ Chiropractor Dr. James Koop of Accident Chiropractic Utilizes Chiropractic Wellness Care to Treat Patients Suffering From Sciatica

Sciatica is a symptom of a problem with the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve controls muscles in the back of your knee as well as your lower leg and provides feeling to the back of your thigh, part of your lower leg, and the sole of your foot.  At Accident Chiropractic, Dr. James Koop can help get you back on track both chemically and structurally to bring your body back to life.

When a person has sciatica they will experience pain, weakness, numbness or tingling, particularly on one side of the body. It can start in the lower back and extend down the leg to the calf, foot, or even toes. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc. When a disc develops a tear or crack and bulges into the spinal canal, it can pinch the sciatic nerve. Often, a particular event or injury does not cause sciatica, but rather it tends to develop over time. For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe. For others, the sciatica pain might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse.

Sometimes sciatica goes away on its own. For others, when the pain is severe or does not relieve itself, Dr. James Koop of Accident Chiropractic will administer a more structured treatment approach.  Treatment, if needed, depends on the cause of the problem. It may include exercises, medicines, and surgery. The goals of non-surgical sciatica treatments are to relieve pain and any neurological symptoms caused by a compressed nerve root.
