Sciatica Chiropractor in Columbus

Sciatica is a condition that’s mostly likely caused by a pinched nerve that affects the area near the base of the spine. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and extends from the lumbar region in the lower back through the buttocks area, where nerve endings are sent down to the lower limbs. The pinched nerve is typically the result of a damaged, or herniated, disc in the spine and it can lead to sharp pains in the hips, thighs and lower legs. If you’re suffering from sciatica, you may also feel a numbness, or tingling sensation in the legs or feet.

Our chiropractor at Health First Family Chiropractic in Columbus GA, Dr. David Johnson, DC, routinely deals with patients who suffer from sciatica and he thoroughly understands how painful the condition can be. Through a series of gentle, yet effective adjustments, along with targeted physical exercises, Dr. Johnson can quickly alleviate your discomfort and help educate you on the best ways to prevent frequent recurrences of this type of injury.

Sciatica Treatment in Columbus

Dr. Johnson uses corrective exercises that rely on the core belief that the body is very intuitive at healing itself, if pushed in the right direction. Even if left untreated, sciatica will eventually heal on its own, but not without a series of painful episodes that can sometimes be debilitating. Instead of painful non-action or painkillers, Dr. Johnson offers the highly-effective, fast-acting, all-natural benefits of chiropractic adjustments combined with healing physical therapy.

Why Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is currently used by millions of people in the United States and worldwide. A 2015 Gallup Poll showed that more than 33 million Americans visited a chiropractor in 2014 and that two-thirds of the population think that chiropractic care is effective. Respondents also noted that they felt chiropractors have patients’ best interests at heart.

By many accounts, one of the most common reasons for the growing popularity of chiropractic care is that it is based on healing in a natural way, without the reliance on expensive medications or surgical interventions. Dr. Johnson and the entire staff at Health First Family Chiropractic share the belief that optimal health and wellness should start from within and be based on an integrative “whole-person” approach.
