Sciatica Treatment
Sciatica After a Car Accident — Maryland Chiropractor
Disc injuries from auto accidents frequently cause sciatic nerve compression. We treat sciatica with non-surgical chiropractic care and document it thoroughly.
Understanding Your Injury
What It Is
Sciatica is the term for pain, numbness, or weakness that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the buttocks and down one or both legs. After an auto accident, disc herniations or facet joint injuries in the lumbar spine can compress sciatic nerve roots.
Sciatica caused by accident trauma often worsens over days as inflammation develops. Early evaluation and documentation are essential.
Signs & Symptoms
What You May Be Experiencing
Radiating Leg Pain
Sharp, burning, or shooting pain that travels from the lower back through the buttocks and down the back of one leg.
Numbness & Tingling
Pins-and-needles sensation or numbness in the leg, foot, or toes indicating sciatic nerve root compression.
Muscle Weakness
Weakness in the leg or foot, difficulty walking or standing for extended periods, resulting from nerve compression.
Our Approach
How We Treat It
Treatment for accident-related sciatica focuses on reducing disc pressure and restoring lumbar spine mobility. Our DCs use lumbar decompression techniques, targeted spinal manipulation, and progressive core strengthening exercises.
We refer for lumbar MRI when neurological symptoms suggest significant disc herniation, incorporating imaging findings into your medical record to establish both the diagnosis and its causal relationship to the accident.
