Tulsa Chiropractor Helps Sciatica - Dr. Michael Lau

Sciatica is a stubborn condition that seems to give people fits after long car rides, excessive standing on hard surfaces, repetitive movements that are out of the norm, etc.  It usually starts with pain in the lower back and hip and moves down the back of the leg.  
A common culprit for this condition is an error in the mechanics of the sacroiliac joints, found on each side of the tailbone.  When such joints get tight and lose their normal mobility, the surrounding muscles must work harder. This combination of a lack of normal joint play with increased muscle rigidity seems to be a factor in sciatica.  

The solution is to restore normal joint motion in the lumbar spine as well as the sacroiliac joints.  In addition, stretching the tight muscles in the buttocks areas is also key.  I also recommend trigger point therapy to the piriformis and glut medius muscle groups as well (muscles in the buttocks).  

In some instances, leg pain can be caused from a herniated disc.  There are tests to rule that scenario out. 

If you suffer from stubborn lower back and buttock pain that sometimes goes down the leg, call our office for a free consultation.
