San Diego chiropractor, Dr. Brian Garret of Garrett Downtown Chiropractic realizes that many people may complain of sciatica, or self-diagnose sciatica, without knowing the true nature of the condition or how it is defined and treated. Beginning with the definition of the term itself, “Sciatica” refers specifically to pain experienced along the sciatic nerve path. This nerve extends from its root at the lower back and continues down each leg. Sciatica is not a diagnosis or disease in and of itself, like Alzheimer’s disease. It is a symptom, like itching or sneezing. As a symptom, sciatica can range from the occasional painful nuisance all the way to an excruciating pain that nearly debilitates sufferers.

The experienced doctors at Garrett Downtown Chiropractic encourage anyone experiencing pain on a regular basis to schedule a free pain management consultation at their chiropractic office in San Diego. The consultation includes a personal health review and one-on-one sit down with a certified pain management specialist. Once the meeting is complete, the patient should have everything they need to make an informed decision on whether to move forward with the recommended treatment or pursue other avenues. Successful treatment is usually contingent on the patient making a personal commitment toward improving their health.

Garrett Downtown Chiropractic offers patients more than just a variety of advanced chiropractic techniques and adjustments. Dr. Garrett’s staff and onsite massage therapist provide massage therapy for patients who are in need of pain relief that can be easily treated by these techniques. Relaxation massage is available for patients experiencing back pain and attempting to find relief for the minor aches and pains that accompany many people throughout their daily lives. Dr. Brian Garrett often prescribes massage therapy as a complementary rehabilitation treatment for his San Diego chiropractic patients.
