Sciatica is a painful condition that is caused by inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The pain often starts in the lower back and buttocks and may continue down the back of one leg. Sciatica sufferers may feel pain when sitting, standing, and walking, and it may be difficult to get relief even when laying down to sleep. 

At Keller Family Chiropractic, Dr. Faries sees many cases of sciatica and uses spinal decompression to help patients get the relief that they need. With more than 24 years of experience and the latest spinal decompression treatment tools available, Dr. Faries can provide the sciatica treatment that you need to feel like yourself again. 

Sciatica Basics

The multiple sciatic nerves that run through your lower back and into your buttocks and down each leg are the largest nerves in your body. When the nerve becomes inflamed and compressed by a herniated disc, sciatica occurs. Although some cases of sciatica are mild and may resolve on their own, sufferers often report significant pain that interferes with their daily activities. Without sciatica treatment, the condition may get worse over time. 

Spinal Decompression and Sciatica Treatment

Dr. Faries has used spinal decompression to treat sciatica countless times in his more than two decades of experience. Spinal decompression helps to open space in the spine to allow herniated discs—discs which have bulged out of position—to move back into place. This eases the pressure on the sciatic nerve, resolving symptoms. Spinal decompression also encourages healing nutrients to flow into your spine, which further helps to alleviate pain. 

3D Multi-Axial Spinal Decompression Table

At Keller Family Chiropractic, we are pleased to offer our patients treatment on the most advanced spinal decompression table available, the Saunders 3D Activetrac. Unlike other traction tables, our table is multi-axial, which allows Dr. Faries to move the spine in three directions. This makes it easier to target the herniation in the area of the sciatic nerve. The Saunders 3D Activetrac is FDA cleared and delivers fast, comfortable care for sciatica sufferers.
