What is sciatica?

Sciatica is a painful condition caused by excessive pressure on the sciatic nerve. This nerve stretches from your lower back through your buttocks and all the way down your legs. Any type of pressure on your sciatic nerve can produce back pain, leg pain, inflamed tissues, and other painful symptoms.  

Who’s at risk of sciatica?

A traumatic injury from a slip and fall, auto crash, or sports accident can trigger sciatica, as can chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease. If your job requires a lot of bending, twisting, or heavy lifting, you are more likely to develop sciatica. Pregnancy, obesity, and excessive standing and sitting can also lead to sciatica due to the strain placed on the vertebrae, muscles, and joints.  

What are common symptoms of sciatica?

Sciatica symptoms may vary from patient to patient. However, common symptoms include:

  • Lower back pain that radiates through your buttocks and down one leg
  • A burning, stabbing sensation in your back or leg
  • Leg numbness or weakness
  • Lower back stiffness
  • Loss of hip flexibility

Contact our Canton chiropractor immediately for an accurate diagnosis and pain relief treatment for sciatica.  

How does chiropractic care treat sciatica?

If you’re experiencing the aggravating symptoms of sciatica, don’t hesitate to contact our Canton chiropractor for treatment. We use non-invasive, holistic therapies and techniques to help relieve pain, restore body function and promote the body’s natural healing process. Through spinal decompression, our Canton chiropractor can relieve pressure caused by herniated or bulging discs. This therapy alleviates back and leg pain while allowing damaged tissues to heal fully.

Chiropractic adjustments reposition misaligned structures that are pressing on the sciatic nerve to ease pain and restore balance to your system. Balancing your system puts it in a better position to heal. We may also use cold laser therapy to stimulate cellular repair and promote quicker healing. Our chiropractor will recommend corrective exercises you can do at home to strengthen your back muscles and improve your posture to help reduce future episodes of sciatica symptoms.
