“Dr. Becker specializes in decreasing sciatica pain, and WOW did I see results. I’d say that after 2 visits I’m at 90% health again, and I was struggling with bad sciatica pain for ~1 month. Highly recommend him!”

Sciatica Treatment
One thing often said by people seeking sciatica treatment is that if you have sciatica symptoms, you can’t ignore them and if they are severe enough you will never forget them. Emergency rooms see many cases with sciatica symptoms because the pain can be debilitating. While ER’s may be able to offer sciatica pain treatment, their sciatica treatment doesn’t often get to the cause of the problem. In Los Angeles, sciatica treatment does not have to be so limited when you can find a sciatica doctor like Dr. Steven Becker.
“Dr Becker is wonderful. I came in with what I thought was sciatica. He discussed why it wasn’t and did some complex adjustments. Best chiropractic experience I have ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable, skilled and present.”

“Dr. Becker was wonderful! He took me step by step throughout the procedure and made sure I was comfortable. I had a lot of pain from my back through my leg, but after two adjustments, I saw major improvements.”

What is Sciatica?
In standard sciatica treatment, the term “sciatica†refers to pain along the sciatic nerve.The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower spine down the back of both legs to the feet. About 40% of all Americans will be affected by sciatica symptoms in their lives. 20% to 30% of people with sciatica symptoms will have persistent problems even after 2 or 3 years. Since sciatica symptoms follow the sciatic nerve, sciatica pain can occur in the lower back, hips, and legs (usually the back of the leg) all the way to the big toe. The pain can be localized to a small area or run down a large part of the nerve.The pain can be a shooting pain, constant pain, or both. Sciatica can also lead to weakness of the foot or leg. Sciatica symptoms usually affect only one side of the body.

Sciatica Causes
The majority of sciatica symptoms leading to sciatica treatment are caused by problems with the spine. Sciatica symptoms most commonly occur when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. Conditions that affect the spinal canal, vertebrae, and disks can lead to sciatica symptoms. Other sciatica causes are muscle spasms or as a side-effect of pregnancy, but most come from spinal issues. Sciatica is most common in people between 45 and 64 years old. Other factors which may contribute to sciatica symptoms are: obesity, height, whether the person smokes, prolonged sitting, and the presence of diabetes. While these factors may contribute to the likelihood of sciatica, even the healthiest people can get sciatica symptoms and need sciatica treatment.
