SCIATICA
Understanding the Condition
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It’s typically caused by a disc pathology, and spinal subluxations that can compress the nerve.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care for sciatica aims to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve through spinal adjustments. This can reduce inflammation, muscle spasm, and pain, often resulting in quick pain relief and improved mobility.
COMMON CAUSES
Herniated disk is the most common cause, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.
