Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that starts in the low back and extends down one or both legs. It usually gets worse with periods of sitting or standing. Sciatica often affects pregnant women, those with diabetes, and people who are obese.
Typical Symptoms
● Hip pain
● A tingling or burning feeling down the leg
● Weakness, numbness, or a difficult time moving the leg or foot
● Continual pain that affects one side of the buttocks
● A shooting pain that makes it uncomfortable to stand up
Our Natural Approach
Chiropractic adjustments can help to relieve sciatic pain. Improving joint motion in the lower back with chiropractic starts with a consultation and comprehensive examination.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you get sciatica?
Sciatica is often the result of cumulative damage. Years of poor posture and being overweight can contribute to sciatica. An episode can be triggered by something as simple as bending over to tie your shoes. Spinal deterioration is another culprit.
Can chiropractic cure sciatica?
Chiropractic doesn’t cure anything! Only your body can do that. The purpose of chiropractic is to help your spine work as it should, reducing nerve irritation and restoring your body’s healing ability.
How much chiropractic care will be needed?
Most sciatica patients get good results after weeks or months of care. Naturally, this varies from person to person.
