Sciatica Care
Sciatica refers to pain that starts in the low back and travels down one or both legs, and it usually gets worse the longer you sit or stand. It tends to show up more often in pregnant women, people with diabetes, and people carrying extra weight.
Typical Symptoms
Sciatica can show up as hip pain, a tingling or burning feeling down the leg, weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot, continual pain affecting one side of the buttocks, or a shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to even stand up.
Our Natural Approach
Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve sciatic pain by improving joint motion in the lower back, starting with a consultation and a comprehensive exam. We’ll always be straight with you, if we think our care can help, we’ll say so, and if we think another type of practitioner is better suited to your situation, we’ll tell you that too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get sciatica?
It’s often the result of cumulative damage, years of poor posture or carrying extra weight can set the stage, and an episode can be triggered by something as small as bending over to tie your shoes. Spinal deterioration over time is another common factor.
Can chiropractic cure sciatica?
Chiropractic doesn’t cure anything, only your body can do that. What we do is help your spine work the way it’s supposed to, reducing nerve irritation so your body’s own healing ability can take over.
How much care will I need?
Most sciatica patients see good results over weeks to months of care, though it varies from person to person, and we’ll keep you in the loop on your progress the whole way.
