Chiropractic Care for Sciatica in Oregon City

Treatments with Dr. Pitcairn will change the way you manage and approach your pain. From your initial check-up to ongoing follow-up visits, you will enjoy the following benefits:

Avoid Drug Treatment

While medication may be appropriate for some injuries, it is not an effective long-term solution. Chiropractic treatment for sciatic pain is far more targeted than medication. Certain adjustments to your back, hips, and spine help relieve pressure and pain more permanently. Medications only conceal the problem, which may make your discomfort worse in the long run.

Avoid Surgery

Back surgery is risky and can sometimes make your original problem worse. Dr. Pitcairn strongly encourages sciatic pain sufferers to schedule a consultation at her clinic before seeking more invasive treatments. Chiropractic care for sciatica boosts your body’s natural healing process and reduces nerve irritation.

Relieve Pain & Discomfort

To address the source of your sciatic pain, chiropractic treatment is direct, effective, and non-invasive. Most patients find that they look forward to the care they receive because it comes with sustained relief. Additionally, Dr. Pitcairn may incorporate other therapies, like massage therapy, into your treatment plan for optimal pain reduction.

Restore Your Mobility

Sciatic pain can hinder mobility, especially in your hips and legs. Your joints, ligaments, and muscles may have limited movement or feel stiff. With chiropractic treatment, sciatic pain minimizes and mobility increases.

Achieve Long-Term Relief

Drug therapy, surgery, and other options may not address and treat the underlying cause of your sciatic pain. Chiropractic treatment is an excellent option if you want to achieve long term relief. With Dr. Pitcairn, you will follow a wellness plan with tailored follow-up treatments that help you sustain your progress.

No matter how long you have been living with sciatic pain, chiropractic treatments can begin at any time. Whether you have suffered for years or have an acute injury that has left you with sciatic nerve problems, Dr. Pitcairn can help. Keep reading to learn what to expect on your first visit and follow-ups.

During your first visit, Dr. Pitcairn will go over your health history, family health history, and the details of the pain you are experiencing. At your second visit, you will move into Phase 1 of treatment and begin chiropractic care for immediate pain relief.

Once your acute pain is managed, you will move to Phase 2 for corrective or restorative care. The goal of this phase is to resolve the underlying issues that contribute to your pain. This phase may include at-home exercises, lifestyle changes, and massage therapy.

Throughout every phase, you will follow a customized wellness plan tailored to your goals, recovery needs, and pain levels. Your wellness plan continues into Phase 3, which focuses on ongoing wellness. This phase promotes continued healing and maintenance.
