Sciatica

Got a pain in the butt…literally?

Chiropractic care is not a treatment for sciatica. Sciatic pain starts mostly in the low back or buttocks region and in severe cases can travel down to the back of the knee and heel. Sciatic pain is mostly due to stress and tension on the nerves. When there is stress on nerves exiting the spine, numbness, tingling, and/or a sharp shooting sensation may be felt. This tension creates a decrease in function of the nerve.

Chiropractic care helps to increase the function of the spine and nervous system. By removing stress and tension from the spine, the nervous system ultimately functions more optimally. Many patients have seen great outcomes after chiropractic care.
