A condition named sciatica may be responsible for intense pain in the legs. Two thick nerves that are located on the backs of the legs, when irritated, cause this debilitating pain, usually affecting only one leg. Manual adjustments are the method used by a leading Knoxville chiropractor to reduce the pain.



The nerves that serve the hip, thigh, knee, calf, foot and toes are all referred to as sciatic nerves. Any one of them can be irritated. The pain caused may be sharp or it may be a dull. Numbness may accompany the hurt.



If a nerve is compressed by a subluxation of the lumbar vertebrae, it will hurt. Subluxation is a chiropractic term for a misalignment. Adjustments have had success at gradually moving the vertebrae back into the right position.



A herniated disc occurs when the gel-filled sac that cushions the vertebrae bulges out between these small bones. Each disc functions in a way that is similar to what shock absorbers do for an automobile. The disc in a healthy state does not protrude.



Someone can play sports in a way that causes leg pain. Legs may cramp, feel weak or feel numb. When these cramps go on for a long time, there may be something else causing the pain.



A chiropractor must carefully evaluate the situation before any care plan can be initiated. Questions, a physical exam of the back and legs, and possibly watching the person walk can all contribute to an accurate assessment. All information can help to plan successful care.



Instead of prescription medication, chiropractic care uses manual adjustments. This is a non-invasive technique. A series will serve to relieve the pressure impacting the nerves. The spinal vertebrae are moved back into their correct position and pain is reduced.



No two people are given the exact same care. No two people respond at the same rate, some improve faster than others. Overall results depend on age, general health and intensity of the hurt that is limiting their activity.
