What is Sciatica and Why Does it Cause Lower Back Pain?
The term sciatica is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe pain associated with compression of the lumbar or sciatic nerves. This type of pain can cause discomfort in the lower back, as well as pain that radiates down to the buttocks and legs. While this pain can be caused by an injury, the most likely cause is a herniated disc or damage to one or more vertebrae.
Treating Sciatica Pain at Our Clinic
Chiropractic adjustments have been extremely successful as a treatment for sciatic pain. Our chiropractor uses spinal decompression, a virtually painless technique that gently stretches the spine, which allows misaligned discs and vertebrae to slip back into their proper places. We augment this treatment with nutrition advice so your spine doesn't have to support any extra pounds and orthotics to help your spine line up properly when you stand.
