What is a subluxation?

The word "subluxation" comes from the Latin words meaning "to dislocate" (luxate) and "somewhat or slightly" (sub). A subluxation means a slight dislocation (misalignment) or biomechanical malfunctioning of the vertebrae (bones of the spine). These disturbances may irritate nerve roots and blood vessels which branch off from the spinal cord between each of the vertebrae. This irritation may cause pain and dysfunction in muscle, lymphatic and organ tissue as well as imbalance in the normal body processes.

Leg Pain and Sciatica

Sciatica is a severe pain in the leg caused by compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve.  The sciatic nerves are the largest and longest nerves in the body, reaching about the size of your thumb in diameter, and running down the back of each leg.  It cant ravel to the thigh, knee, calf, ankle, foot, and toes.  When these nerves are irritated or affected by the inflammation of nearby soft tissues, doctors refer to this as sciatica.  Many factors affect the pain of sciatica.  Sitting in one position for long periods of time, working out or running, simple things like walking, bending, turning, or standing up may be difficult and painful.  Twisting activities can cause sciatica pain to flare up.  For some, the pain may be in both legs or change from side to side.  Back pain may also occur before the sciatica itself. 

The chiropractic approach to treating sciatica is to find the source of nerve irritation and relieve the pressure causing the pain.  Sciatica, like other health conditions that can be traced to the spine, often repsonds dramatically to the restoration of normal spinal function through chiropractic care.  Treatments will vary according to the severity of the condition.  With most patients, a series of adjustments to move the related vertebra back to a more normal position is helpful to reduce the pressure on the nerve.  In some cases, the use of ultrasound and ice is needed.
