The term lumbosacral refers to the lower part of the spine, and radiculopathy describes a problem with the spinal nerve roots that pass between the vertebrae and give rise to the sciatic nerve. This area between the vertebrae is cushioned with a disk of shockabsorbing tissue.ain in the lower back and hip radiating down the back of the thigh into the leg, initially attributed to sciatic nerve dysfunction (hence the term), but now known to usually be due to herniated lumbar disc compromising the L5 or S1 root. See: sciatic. (Contugno), Domenico Felice Antonio, Italian anatomist, 1736-1822.
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In the first phase of care, our main goal is to reduce your symptoms. Initially, treatment visits may occur weekly or more frequently depending on individual pain level and symptom type.
Chiropractic treats the problem naturally and in turn prompts the body to heal itself. While it's often perceived that the chiropractor solely treats back and neck pain, this is a small piece of what the profession is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with many different health issues.
