Sciatica Care
A common condition that originates in the lower back and radiates pain down the leg, sciatica often affects people who sit for long periods, have physically demanding jobs, or suffer from herniated discs.
This type of low back pain is usually caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. The condition typically results from misalignments in the lower spine, particularly in the L4 and L5 vertebrae.
These misalignments can cause disc injuries, such as bulging or herniated discs, leading to symptoms like tingling, burning sensations, or sharp shooting pain down the legs.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments, which can reduce nerve interference and restore proper function to the body. In the case of sciatica, adjusting the lower back can relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve, allowing for improved nerve and blood flow. This, in turn, helps promote healing and reduce inflammation around the affected discs.
Regular chiropractic adjustments are important as they can address the immediate symptoms and help maintain spinal health, preventing future episodes of sciatica.
