In simple terms, sciatica is pain caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, it is a group of nerves that create the sciatic nerve, this nerve is situated in the lower back and travels down the back of both legs. The most notable sign of sciatica is the spreading pain that originates in the lower back and travels down the back of the legs. Additional indicators consist of a lack of sensation, a tingling sensation, and a lack of strength in the lower limbs or feet. Be cautious of sciatica nerve pain, as up to 40 percent of adults may experience it at some point in their lives.

Most people that have sciatica get it from joints in the lower back that are in a bad position and cause compression and irritation to the nerve roots of some of the nerves that make up the sciatic nerve. 

Often the use of the McKenzie method will greatly help in reducing the sciatic pain and get you out of pain.

Chiropractic treatment is an effective method for addressing and alleviating sciatic pain. Regular chiropractic treatment offers patients a safe, non-addictive option for sciatica relief instead of relying on prescription or over-the-counter pain medications commonly used to manage pain.

Chiropractors provide a gentle, non-invasive, non-addictive treatment called a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic treatments aim to decrease inflammation and enhance the function of joints and the nervous system by addressing joint restrictions and misalignments in the spine and other parts of the body. By enhancing joint mobility, improving nervous system function, and maintaining spinal health, your body can more effectively control symptoms resulting from sciatica.

Listed below are a few of the ways that chiropractic care and adjustments can help individuals experiencing sciatic pain and discomfort:

• Decreased inflammation

• Reduced pain and discomfort

• Improved range of motion

• Improved flexibility

• Increased activity and lifestyle

In order to determine if chiropractic treatment is suitable for your condition, the chiropractor at Spinal Solutions will conduct a consultation, examination and may recommend diagnostic imaging like x-rays or MRIs if needed. After examining you and conducting a consultation, your chiropractor may collaborate with other healthcare providers like massage therapists, physical therapists, or primary care physicians in treating your sciatica.
