If you need sciatica treatment in Germantown, WI, you are likely dealing with pain that runs from the low back or buttock down the back of one leg. It can burn, tingle, or feel numb. Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis, so the key question is what is irritating the nerve. At Yentz Family Chiropractic, a chiropractor for sciatica starts by finding that out.
We ask where the pain travels and what makes it better or worse. Then we test movement, strength, reflexes, and feeling in the leg. The answers point to the likely source and to the right care. If we need imaging, we will say so, and we have digital X-ray in the office.
If a disc is involved, spinal decompression on our DOC table may help take pressure off the nerve. Other cases respond to adjustments, soft tissue work, and home exercises. We recommend what fits your exam and tell you if you should see a medical doctor instead. You can read more on our sciatica service page.
The two often go together. Sciatica is the leg pain, and the cause is usually in the low back. See our pages on back pain and herniated disc care in Germantown for more.
If the pain keeps getting worse, or your leg is getting weaker, do not wait. Call us or see your medical doctor.
If leg pain has lasted more than a week or two, or keeps coming back, get it looked at. An exam gives you an answer sooner than weeks of guessing. It also tells you early if your case needs a medical doctor or imaging.
Go to the emergency room if leg pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness between the legs, or a leg that is quickly getting weaker.
