Sciatica is a painful condition where you feel pain shooting into your buttocks or down your leg. It can be a burning pain, sometimes feeling like a red hot poker.
There are primarily 2 causes which both can be treated by a chiropractor. The large sciatic nerve arising from the nerves coming out of the lower back spine gets ‘pinched’ or ‘irritated’ when the piriformis muscle gets strained or tight.
The main source of sciatica is the irritation of the nerves in the low back due to misalignment of the bones or vertebrae or due to degenerated or bulging discs.
Adjustments of the spine and pelvis to remove irritation, possibly specific stretches and possibly lumbar decompression can help to correct sciatica and get you back to doing the things that you need or want to do.
