Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This large nerve runs from the lumbar spine, through the buttocks, and down the side of each leg. Issues with the spine can put undue pressure on the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected areas. Most people only experience sciatica on one side of the body, but it's possible to experience the condition on both sides.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica can develop due to a variety of causes, such as herniated discs and bone spurs. Some other causes of the condition include:

• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis.
• Piriformis syndrome
• Misalignments
• Poor posture
• Obesity

Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive and effective form of treatment for sciatica. While each case of sciatica is different, many of our patients find relief with a combination of treatment modalities. Our chiropractors may recommend spinal decompression therapy, chiropractic adjustment, lifestyle changes, and stretching exercises to help you recover fully.

When you visit us, we will first discuss your symptoms with you and perform a thorough evaluation. Once we determine what is causing your symptoms, our chiropractors will develop a personalized treatment plan for your needs. We’ll also monitor your progress during each session and make any adjustments to your treatment in necessary.
