Sciatica and Chiropractic Care

Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve that extends from the lower back down either leg. The pain in the leg can be mild and irritating or severe and debilitating.

There are many causes of the nerve becoming irritated in the first place and your chiropractor will evaluate your problem in the initial consultation. Once the cause is identified care can begin to correct the cause.

Drugs (painkillers/anti-inflammatory medications) merely reduce the swelling that arises and doesn’t correct the actual cause of the problem.

There has to be a reason the nerve keeps getting irritated!

You shouldn’t have to keep taking painkillers to stay out of pain.

One of the most common causes of sciatica is a subluxation in the lumbar spine which chiropractors specialize in correcting.
