Sciatica is a painful condition that affects the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs. When the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed upon by a bulging disc or a tight hip muscle it can cause nerve symptoms and loss of function (tingling, numbness, burning, pins/needles and weakness). Most importantly If you are feeling any of these symptoms, besides the pain it creates motor control dysfunction and spinal instability. This can create long term chronic dysfunction and dysfunctional movement which will effect your overall function and performance.
Chiropractic treatment for sciatica involves a combination of spinal adjustments, mobilisations, motor control, mobility and strength exercises that are non invasive and natural. The goal of chiropractic care for sciatica is to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, stability and alleviate pain. We will perform a thorough examination to identify the root cause of your sciatica and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and get to the root cause of your injury.
