Sciatica Pain Treatment
Injections containing stem cells can potentially repair muscles, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons damaged by injuries and overuse. Stem cells, cytokines, and other powerful growth factors may trigger repair at the site of injection and accelerate the regeneration of your body’s tissues to get you fast sciatica pain relief.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is also used for sciatica pain treatment. PRP injections also contain growth factors, including proteins, amino acids, and cytokines responsible for healing and tissue growth. PRP promotes the repair of tissues affected by damage and inflammation. While some inflammation is routine and has a benefit to healing injuries, long-term inflammation causes pain, swelling, and further damage to tissues. Instead of continually relying on anti-inflammatory medications, PRP injections may be able to correct the problem at the root so that you can heal.
Back pain, hip pain, leg pain, neck pain, and other sciatic nerve symptoms respond well to chiropractic care. If you want to avoid medications or the risks associated with surgery, or you’ve had issues with your skeletal alignment, our chiropractor can perform chiropractic adjustments for sciatica relief.
You may also consider laser therapy as an effective sciatica treatment to combat nerve, muscle, and other tissue irritation and inflammation.
Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief
Your sciatic nerve travels from the lower back through your buttocks, down to your thigh, calf, and foot. Although sciatic pain is usually one-sided, it sometimes occurs on both sides of your body.
If there’s any tension on the nerve, such as stretching movements, bending to tie your shoe, or even walking, your pain might worsen. While your sciatic nerve is responsible for the legs, feet, and buttocks, a common cause of sciatica is a herniated or slipped disc. Other causes include a tumor, malfunctioning of your nervous system, or an injury to the lower back or buttocks.

- Hip pain
- Buttock pain
- Pain that runs down the back of your thigh to your calf and foot
