Sciatica

What Causes Sciatica?

Multiple problems can cause sciatica because many things can cause the sciatic nerve to be compressed. The most common reasons for a compressed sciatic nerve include:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Spondylolisthesis

Sciatica usually affects just one leg, depending on which side of the body the sciatic nerve is being compressed and irritated. Some people experience mild discomfort while others deal with severe pain. A patient can recover from sciatica, but sometimes the condition can worsen, causing you to seek professional evaluation and care.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care:

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing sciatica. Treatments from an experienced chiropractor focus on addressing the underlying causes of your sciatic nerve irritation, such as spinal misalignment, muscle tension, or herniated discs, rather than simply masking the symptoms with medications.

Through gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises, we aim to alleviate your pain, restore proper function, and prevent future flare-ups.
