Here's an example: Sam presented to his chiropractor's office with left side sciatica. His pain is exacerbated with sitting long periods. He was prescribed muscle relaxers by his primary care physician and referred to physical therapy. This returned no help so he went to his chiropractor.
Here he had temporary relief of his symptoms but pain would return. He was seen for 5 visits and then that doctor referred him for an injection. Sam had consistent pain at some level, as well as inflammation. While the chiropractic treatments helped, as well as the recommended home ice did seem to help, pain was still present.
The steroid shot is a big blast of anti-inflammatory to the specific area. It is typically the inflammation that puts pressure on nerves causing the back pain or sciatica. Doing this may give the body that extra chance to heal, thus allowing inflammation to stay away and normal motion return to the spine.
