Uncovering the Source of Your Pain

Sciatica is often related to irritation or compression of nerve roots in the lower back and may present as:

  • Pain radiating from the lower back down one or both legs
  • Hip discomfort
  • Aching
  • A tingling or burning feeling down the leg
  • Weakness, numbness, or a difficult time moving the leg or foot
  • Continual pain that affects one side of the buttocks
  • A shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to stand up

Prolonged periods of sitting or standing may worsen the problem.

Sciatica can be linked to disc problems, inflammation, or other structural changes. Our assessment helps identify likely contributing factors and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you, or whether you should be referred for further investigation.

Finding a Path to Relief

If chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment may include gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises aimed at improving movement and reducing discomfort. How people respond varies, and we’ll review your progress with you regularly.
