What is sciatica and can Chiropractic help?
Sciatica is severe pain caused by compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve originates and exits from the lower back and travels down each leg. Pressure on the nerve from a bone or disc out of place can irritate the nerve and send a feeling of pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling down the leg. The Chiropractic approach to treating sciatica is to find the source of the nerve irritation and relieve the pressure that is causing the pain. Sciatica responds very well to Chiropractic care.
