Sciatica. Nothing is helping? Not even Chiropractic?

Sciatica is a common symptom of a herniated or bulging disc. It can be described as a pins-and-needle sensation running through the lower back, buttocks and legs. A serious case of sciatica may turn into a throbbing, shooting pain in the lower back region and legs. Often simple chiropractic adjustments will alleviate this condition.

But what the pain continues?

Sciatica involves the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve group in the human body. When a disc herniation or disc bulge presses on the sciatic nerve, it may cause sciatica symptoms. The pain is typically experienced in one side of the body and could easily be irritated by sneezing, coughing or laughing.The New England Journal Of Medicine states that there is a high correlation between sciatica and job dissatisfaction and depression. It is said that two out of every five individuals may suffer a case of sciatica at some point in their life.Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy and the DRX9000, helps treat back pain associated with herniated or bulging discs, sciatica and degenerative disc disease.
