How to stop sciatic nerve pain is a questioned asked by many people who suffer from this condition.
I know how you feel, you have tried many treatment options and nothing seems to really help ease your pain.
You go to different doctors and they all have different treatments and nothing works for you.
If you go to the chiropractor, they will want to manipulate your spine to help what they call a subluxation.
They will tell you part of your spin is out of alignment and is compressing on your sciatic nerve.
Been there and done that, it never helped my problem at all.
Plus who the heck wants to go back to the chiropractor one time a week for the rest of your life.
I figured they wanted me to keep coming back to them till my insurance ran out.
At least that's the way I felt.
When going to a medical doctor, they will usually prescribe some form of a muscle relaxant or anti-depressant medication.
Certain anti-seizure and anti-depressant medications can help in blocking pain messages sent to your brain.
This can work for a while, but you are not fixing the cause of your pain.
Another treatment when asking how to stop sciatic nerve pain is an epidural steroid injection.
This type of injection places a steroid known as a corticosteroidnearthe spinal nerve roots.
These steroids help reduce inflammation and can help to stop your leg and back pain.
An epidural steroid injection may stop your sciatic nerve pain for quite a few months but again this is not getting to the root of your problem.
Muscle Balance Therapy is the treatment that finally helped me with my problem.
It made all the sense in the world to me too.
The basic idea behind this therapy is that after many years of use, your muscles pull your spine out of alignment.
There is sort of an off balance going on and when they pull on your spine, this in turn causes your spine to put pressure on your sciatic nerve.
