Sciatic Pain affects an estimated 3 in 10 people. Often the pain is so bad that daily life is severely impacted. Maybe you can’t drive a car, walk around the grocery store, or play with your child.
You have probably tried stretching, physical therapy, exercise and ice or heat. Sometimes these things help but often they don’t last. Why do these therapies give you some help but no long-term resolution? If you look at these therapies, you will see that they all help muscles. If your problem is a muscular problem, then these are good solutions. If your problem is a NERVE problem, then the pain will come back again and again.
So how do you deal with a nerve problem? All nerves start in your brain, from there they pass through the top part of spine, which is called your atlas or C1 vertebrae. Once the nerves are in your spinal canal they will exit at different levels of your spine so that they can get to your heart, your lungs, your digestive organs and your muscles.
If the nerves are irritated or swollen, then they will miss-signal and this can cause muscle dysfunction. If the muscle doesn’t work then you can develop different problems, one of them being sciatic pain. You can attempt to treat the muscle, but this will not solve the problem. The long-term solution for your problem is getting pressure off the nerves. Pressure on nerves, especially in one area or at one specific location, is always a mechanical problem. Anti-inflammatory vitamins, diets and prescription medication will only temporarily solve the problem, or even worse, it may mask the problem.
Mechanical problems need a mechanical solution. NUCCA is a very gentle and precise procedure that uses specialized x-rays and engineering calculations to properly restore balance to the whole spinal structure. For many people suffering with chronic sciatic pain, this is the solution they have been searching for.
