Sciatica

Sciatica is characterized by pain in the lower back that extends to the buttock and down the leg. In addition to pain, symptoms may include numbness, changes in sensation, and even weakness in the leg.

Accidents, stress, poor posture, and prolonged sitting can lead to compression of the sciatic nerve, resulting in associated pain.

The sciatic nerve is made up of several nerves located between the first lumbar vertebra and the second sacral segment. Due to the complexity of this nerve, it’s common for one or more areas to be affected by compression.

A chiropractor will perform precise adjustments to relieve pressure on the nerve and correct the position of the vertebrae, helping to prevent future compression.

What Causes the Sciatic Nerve to Get Pinched?

  • Poor posture
  • Accidents
  • Stress
  • Prolonged sitting
  • Heavy lifting
  • Herniated discs
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

  • Aligns the spine and pelvis, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  • Helps to eliminate pain caused by sciatica.
  • Increases pelvic stability, allowing discs, ligaments, and muscles to recover.
  • Reduces inflammation, which can alleviate sciatic pain.
  • Improves flexibility and range of motion in the lower back and legs.
  • Enhances overall posture, preventing future sciatic nerve impingements.
  • Facilitates faster recovery from sciatic flare-ups through targeted adjustments.
  • Promotes natural healing without the need for medications or surgery.

What Will a Chiropractor Do to Help You?

  • Conduct an examination of the lumbar and sacral areas to determine the cause of the sciatic pain.
  • Properly realign the lumbar vertebrae (L1, L2, L3, L4, L5) and the sacral segments.
  • Perform precise adjustments to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
