Sciatica Treatment in Fayetteville
Sciatica is a painful condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body. It typically originates in the lower back and radiates through the hips, buttocks, and down one or both legs. There are many causes, with the most common ones being herniated discs, spinal misalignment, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis).
Recognizing the Symptoms
Sciatica pain can vary from mild discomfort to sharp, shooting sensations. Some people experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg. The pain often worsens when sitting, coughing, or sneezing. If sciatica is not addressed, it can interfere with your sleep, mobility, and quality of life.
What to Expect
The first step toward relief is a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Eggleston. During this visit, we take a detailed look at the nature and history of your sciatica symptoms—how long they’ve been present, what triggers them, and how they’re impacting your life.
Next, our chiropractor will perform a physical examination to assess posture, range of motion, and neurological function. We may also use diagnostic imaging like X-rays to determine the underlying cause of the pain. Based on his findings, Dr. Eggleston will develop a personalized treatment plan.
Targeting the Root Cause With Chiropractic
Rather than masking the pain with medication, chiropractic care focuses on correcting the underlying issue. Spinal adjustments help to realign the vertebrae, relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, and restore proper function to the spine. Gentle, controlled adjustments can ease inflammation and reduce nerve irritation.
In addition to adjustments, your care plan may include targeted exercises, posture correction, and ergonomic advice to support the healing process. Dr. Eggleston will tailor a plan to your condition, symptoms, and lifestyle to help you get the best possible outcome.
Promoting Long-Term Relief
Effective sciatica care goes beyond temporary relief. Chiropractic helps improve spinal alignment, flexibility, and muscle balance—all necessary for preventing future flare-ups. Consistent care can help you move more freely and get back to doing the things you enjoy without persistent pain.
