Chiropractic MythBuster: Sciatica Is NOT Caused by a Herniated Disc!

Chiropractic MythBuster: Sciatica Is NOT Caused by a Herniated Disc! The first myth in a series of five that we are going to bring up involves that excruciating pain down your leg. Sciatica - That Huge Pain in My Leg!! You (or someone you know) are probably more than familiar with that horrible pain that runs the length of your leg. Maybe you have had it checked out before by your family practitioner, a specialist, or a sports doctor. Each time, expensive tests led to no conclusive results, which right where you started: still in pain, but now feeling frustrated. In this article, we are going to explore the real cause of this "sciatica" - and what you might do about it. So no need to feel frustrated any longer. And, even better, there's no reason to stay in pain, either! What your doctor is not telling you - and may not even know - can make all the difference. Read on... The Small Muscle Did It! The human body has a small muscle, approximately 5 inches in length, in the hip. This tiny muscle is often the cause of the pain you feel! What is almost always happening in cases of sciatica is that this muscle squeezes the sciatic nerve, which causes this excruciating leg pain. The symptoms that you may be feeling - in addition to the pain - may also include tingling, numbness or weakness that travels down the sciatic nerve to the back of the leg. No matter how much it may feel like you have a slipped or herniated disc, but that simply is not the case. The Inside Scoop... We have bad news and good news for you. The bad news is that there is no expensive medical test or MRI that can reveal this. So no matter how many tests, x-rays, ultrasounds or magnetic resonances you may go in for, none of them will show the problem to be this small muscle causing all the problems! The good news is that there is a much simpler solution! The problem itself is much smaller and easier to manage than your previous doctors, maybe even including other chiropractors, have made it out to be. With that said, it is also much easier (and cheaper!) to correct. In fact, you could be out of pain tomorrow! So What Do I Do Now? Do you experience sciatica? Has it left you in pain and despair?
