What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It is usually caused by pressure on the nerve in the lower spine.
What Are Symptoms of Sciatica?
- Pain radiating from the lower back into the leg
- Burning or electric-like pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens with sitting
Treatments We May Use
- Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment
- Soft tissue therapy (especially for piriformis involvement)
- Spinal decompression for disc-related cases
- Stretching and corrective exercises
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care targets the root cause of sciatic nerve irritation – often a disc issue, muscle tension, or joint dysfunction – helping reduce pressure and inflammation.
