Request an AppointmentWhat Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that radiates down one or both legs. The pain is often described as dull, achy, sharp, like pins and needles, or similar to electric shocks. Other symptoms associated with sciatica include burning, numbness, and tingling sensations. Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity from mild to severe, and its frequency may range from occasional to constant. The onset is generally gradual and not necessarily associated with a previous event. Sciatica is also known as radiating or referred pain, neuropathy, or neuralgia.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg, becomes compressed or irritated. Common causes include herniated or bulging discs, spinal misalignment, spinal stenosis, and muscle tension in the lower back and pelvis. Identifying the true source of the compression is essential to providing lasting relief rather than temporary symptom management.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica
Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive approach to sciatica by relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and restoring proper spinal alignment. Gentle techniques such as Flexion/Distraction are especially effective for disc-related sciatica, while chiropractic adjustments help correct misalignments contributing to your symptoms. Because sciatica is often connected to back pain and hip pain, we address the whole picture to help you heal fully.
