It’s Time for Relief From Pain

Sciatica

Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs, becomes compressed or irritated. This condition can cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness, or tingling along the nerve pathway, often affecting one side of the body. Chiropractic care focuses on relieving nerve pressure and restoring proper spinal function.

Common Causes

Sciatica can result from a variety of structural or lifestyle factors:

Discs pressing on the sciatic nerve are a common cause of pain.

Shifts in vertebrae can reduce space for nerves, leading to compression.

Tight muscles in the lower back, hips, or glutes can irritate the sciatic nerve.

Degenerative changes may narrow nerve passageways in the spine.

Falls, accidents, or overuse can contribute to sciatic nerve irritation.

Common Symptoms

Symptoms vary but often include:

Radiating Pain

Sharp, shooting pain down the leg, sometimes to the foot or toes.

Numbness or Tingling

Pins-and-needles sensations along the nerve pathway.

Muscle Weakness

Leg or foot weakness may occur in severe cases.

Pain with Movement

Pain may worsen when sitting, standing, bending, or twisting.

Difficulty Walking or Standing

Severe sciatica can affect balance and mobility.
