Overview of This Disorder

One of the myths about sciatica is that it represents a distinct diagnosis.  It is more accurate to describe it as a symptom of a disorder.

Irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve results in sciatic nerve pain.  This nerve is one of the longest in the human body.  It originates at the junction of nerve roots extending from the lower portion of the spine.

Symptoms vary among patients.  Pain might be infrequent or constant.  Symptoms usually link to the specific location of nerve compression or irritation.  The most common include:

  • Unremitting pain that strikes one side of a buttock or a leg, usually not both
  • Weakness or numbness when moving a foot or a leg
  • Pain that worsens when standing or seated
  • Difficulty walking due to severe or shooting pain in a leg
  • A feeling of weakness, prickling, or numbness that extends along the leg
  • Pain that starts in the buttock or lower back, runs down the back of the thigh and extends into the leg and foot
  • Toe pain
  • Pain that is sharp vs. dull
  • Pain in the lower back less severe than that in the leg

The cause of discomfort is usually a specific spinal misalignment.  Typical reasons for misalignments include:

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Lumbar spinal stenosis
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
  • Lumbar herniated disc
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Spondylolisthesis

Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatic Nerve Pain

Relief from sciatic nerve pain begins with a diagnostic evaluation by our chiropractor.  This will identify the specific locations of any spinal subluxations.  After a diagnosis of the cause of discomfort, our doctor will develop a customized treatment plan for each patient.

Chiropractic treatment utilizes gentle, hands-on therapy without resorting to medication or surgery.  Our clinic uses a variety of spinal manipulation techniques to resolve spinal misalignments responsible for sciatic pain. 

These adjustments are a safe, effective way to target the cause of spinal discomfort.  For some patients, combining them with hydro massage, physical therapy, or both is helpful.
