Are you struggling with lower back pain that radiates down your leg? Or perhaps a nagging, burning sensation that makes daily activities a challenge? You might be dealing with a lumbar disc injury or sciatica. At Potter Chiropractic, our dedicated team, led by Dr. Shane Turner and Dr. Ben Bethke, are here to help you find relief and reclaim your active lifestyle through personalized Chiropractic care.
Understanding Lumbar Disc Injuries and Sciatica
Lumbar disc injuries occur when the discs in your lower spine—those cushion-like structures between your vertebrae—become damaged, often due to wear and tear, sudden onset injury, or poor posture. A common result is a herniated or bulging disc, which can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Sciatica is a related condition where the sciatic nerve, running from your lower back through your legs, becomes irritated or compressed, often due to a lumbar disc issue and even joint degeneration. This can lead to sharp pain, numbness & /or tingling, or burning sensations radiating from the lower back to the buttocks, and spreading to thigh, calf and even the foot.
These conditions can make sitting, standing, or sleeping uncomfortable, but Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, effective path to relief.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Potter Chiropractic, Dr. Shane Turner and Dr. Ben Bethke work together to address the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms. Their combined expertise ensures a tailored approach to your care, using techniques such as:
- Spinal Adjustments: Precise adjustments realign the spine, reduce pressure on discs and nerves, and improve spinal function, promoting natural healing.
- Decompression Therapy: Non-surgical spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, helping discs heal and relieving nerve compression.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release reduce muscle tension and inflammation around the affected area, supporting recovery.
- Customized Exercises: Dr. Shane and Dr. Ben provide tailored stretches and strengthening exercises to enhance core stability, support your spine, and prevent future injuries.
- Lifestyle Guidance: From posture tips to ergonomic advice, our team empowers you to make changes that protect your spine and reduce flare-ups.
Patients have been raving about Dr. Ben's compassionate care and Dr. Shane's experienced leadership, noting how their personalized plans make every visit effective. Whether you're managing acute pain or chronic discomfort, our Chiropractic care can help you avoid surgery and reduce reliance on medications.
