Sciatica

“Sciatica” is a common condition that can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet. When the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed due to injury or inflammation, it can result in symptoms of sciatica. Similar symptoms can be experienced with herniated discs, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis (when one vertebra slips forward over another). Other factors like poor posture or sitting for extended periods can also contribute to radiating pain.

We offer a thorough examination to find the root cause of your pain and develop a plan that can help alleviate your symptoms. Through adjustments and manual therapy techniques we aim to reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility to decrease irritation on your nerves. Rehab exercises such as stretches to increase flexibility or strengthening exercises may be prescribed for longer-term relief from this type of pain. Our goal is not only to relieve your current symptoms but also help prevent future episodes so you can maintain your health without worrying about chronic pain interrupting your life.
