What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that originates from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve - the longest nerve in the body. This nerve begins in the lower back, travels through the hips and buttocks, and extends down each leg. When compressed or inflamed, it can lead to pain, tingling, or numbness that follows this nerve pathway.

Common Causes of Sciatica

Several factors can lead to sciatic nerve irritation, including:

• Herniated or bulging discs placing pressure on the nerve root.

• Spinal misalignments that irritate or compress the nerve.

• Degenerative disc disease leading to reduced cushioning between vertebrae.

• Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal).

• Muscle imbalances or injuries, especially in the lower back or pelvis.
  
  

Recognizing the Symptoms

Sciatica often presents with distinctive symptoms, such as:

• Sharp, shooting pain radiating from the lower back down one leg.

• Tingling, burning, or “pins and needles” sensations.

• Muscle weakness in the leg or foot.

• Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing, or sneezing.
  
  

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, non-surgical approach to treating sciatica. By focusing on the root cause of the nerve irritation, chiropractic treatments help restore spinal balance, reduce inflammation, and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Dr. Luke develops personalized care plans designed to address each patient’s unique condition.
