What Is Sciatic Nerve Pain?
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It runs from the lower spine through the hips and down each leg. When this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, it can cause significant pain and discomfort.
Common causes of sciatic nerve pain include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal misalignment
- Muscle tension or inflammation
- Degenerative disc changes
- Injuries from lifting or accidents
When the nerve becomes irritated, pain can travel from the lower back through the hip and down the leg. Many patients describe it as shooting, burning, or electric-like pain.
Common Symptoms of Sciatica
Sciatic nerve pain can appear in different ways. Common symptoms include:
- Lower back pain
- Pain that travels down one leg
- Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
- Burning sensations in the hip or thigh
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens when sitting
If you are experiencing these symptoms, a chiropractor can evaluate your spine to determine whether sciatic nerve irritation is the cause.
Chiropractic Care for Sciatic Pain Relief
Dr. Bryan Wells focuses on helping patients achieve lasting pain relief by addressing the underlying cause of sciatica.
Treatment may include:
- Spinal adjustments to improve alignment and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve
- Flexion-distraction therapy is a gentle technique often used for disc-related sciatic pain.
- Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension and inflammation
- Posture and movement guidance to help prevent recurring pain
Many patients begin to experience relief from sciatic pain as pressure on the nerve decreases and spinal movement improves.
Each patient receives a personalized care plan based on their condition and comfort level.
