Success Story for Sciatica
When patients visit SOPHIA Natural Health Center, it’s our mission to help them feel better.* Here are some testimonials from previous patients demonstrating how our treatments have improved their lives:
“For 20+ years, I’ve been getting joint pain in my hips, neck, shoulders, and thumbs. I was also having sciatica pain running down my back into my legs which had restricted me from doing daily activities. Since receiving treatments in February of 2018, the pain is nearly gone in all areas although, my thumbs are lagging behind all the other areas. My hips and sciatica pain were the worst and the pain is completely better. Doing my daily activities has improved and my quality of life is better. Very impressive!” – W. Hoadley
Symptoms & Causes Of Sciatica
Sciatica is caused by the sciatic nerve being irritated or compressed. This nerve starts at the spinal cord and extends through the lower limb. The main symptom of sciatica is pain from the lower back to the back of the thigh and knee. Typically affects one leg and may get worse when sitting, coughing, or sneezing. Symptoms tend to appear fairly quickly.
It can result from:
- Herniated disk
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal tumors
- Trauma resulting from an accident
