Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body that runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It often presents as sharp, burning, or radiating pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and leg. Common signs of sciatica include numbness, tingling, weakness in the leg or foot, and pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements.

 

Chiropractic care for sciatica focuses on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve by improving spinal alignment and joint function. Through targeted adjustments and supportive therapies, chiropractic care helps reduce nerve irritation, improve mobility, and address the underlying cause of symptoms—providing a non-invasive approach to long-term relief and improved movement.
