The Best Sciatica Treatment Available in NYC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manhattan, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) December 6, 2011 --

Sciatica can range from a minor "twinge" or "tenderness" to debilitating pain and can result in people having to put their lives on hold. If you live and work in NYC you might be at a higher risk for developing lower back pain and other joint problems. Most people in Manhattan sit at a desk all day, and then at a computer all night, and sitting in a chair is a very unnatural position for the human body. We are meant to squat on our heels, that's how our skeleton is developed to take loads in a seated position - lying down being the other rest position.

Combine the prolonged periods of sitting with a lack of exercise and improper nutrition, and you have a pretty good recipe for all sorts of chronic back pain and discomfort.

Dr. Steven Shoshany, one of the most renowned chiropractors in NYC, runs an integrated medical practice in the SOHO Tribeca area. Hes seen all types, from elite athletes and running enthusiasts to weekend warriors and soccer moms. Such a wide cross section of the population, all complaining about the same thing: Pain, numbness and tingling down the leg.

When asked what the most common cause of Sciatica in the patients he's seen, he says:
"Most people think that an acute incident such as a fall would be the most common cause of a herniated or ruptured disc, which causes sciatica. However most people can hurt themselves through repetitive overuse, bad posture, and sometimes something as simple as bending down to pick up a pen off the floor can trigger an injury. The simple small daily tasks can quickly become the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back."

Sciatica isn't a diagnosis, but a symptom of an impinged or otherwise irritated nerve. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and depending on where the impingement is located the pain can shoot down to the hamstring, or to the lower leg, all the way down the the foot. Sometimes the interference with nerve activity can be so severe that it can cause the patient to lose sensation and control of the limb and cause debilitating pain.

Its very important to get in touch with a god Chiropractor early, as soon as you feel something might be wrong. Pain is the last indicator of injury, so don't wait until you cant deal with the pain anymore to talk to your doctor or Chiropractor.
