SCIATICA

Chiropractic care may be able to help relieve the symptoms of sciatica, although it cannot guarantee a cure.

Sciatica is often caused by a compressed or irritated sciatic nerve, which can lead to pain, numbness, or tingling sensations in the lower back, hips, legs, and feet. Chiropractors use various techniques such as spinal adjustments, mobilizations, and stretches to help alleviate pressure on the affected nerve and restore proper alignment and function to the spine. By addressing the underlying cause of the problem, Chiropractic care may provide patients with relief from sciatic pain and improve their overall quality of life.

Triggers of sciatica can vary from person to person, but common causes include degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions. Poor posture, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle may also contribute to the development of sciatica.

Chiropractors will often work with patients to identify the cause of their sciatic pain and develop a personalized treatment plan to address their individual needs. In addition to Chiropractic care, patients may benefit from other therapies such as massage, physical therapy, or exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine.
