What Is Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve is a major nerve branch that travels from your lower back, runs through your hips and buttocks, and extends down each leg. Sciatica occurs when the nerve is compressed, causing inflammation, pain, and often numbness in the affected leg. Some patients experience mild or dull aches, while others feel a sharp burning sensation. Regardless of your level of discomfort, we can help. The most common causes of sciatica include:
Herniated or Bulging Disc
The discs between each vertebra are designed to absorb impact and provide flexibility. However, a herniated or bulging disc can compress the nearby sciatic nerve, leading to pain and numbness.
Vertebral Subluxations
Misalignment of the spine can cause structural stress, inflammation, and pressure on the sciatic nerve. Adjustments can alleviate compression and ease pain.
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis muscle can become tight, irritating the sciatic nerve. Routine adjustments that target the lower back can help to relax the muscle and alleviate sciatica pain.
Get Back to Moving Comfortably
Dealing with constant nerve pain is debilitating. If you're tired of masking the symptoms with pain medications or shots, Spine and Joint Chiropractic can help. Spinal adjustments offer a proven way to relieve the pressure and inflammation that causes your sciatica. You deserve to move freely and comfortably again. Book your initial consultation and take the first step toward a pain-free life.
