Pain that radiates from your lower (lumbar) spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg is the hallmark of sciatica. Sciatica may be accompanied by numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected leg. This pain can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or excruciating discomfort. Sometimes it may feel like a jolt or electric shock. Sciatic pain often starts gradually and intensifies over time. It’s likely to be worse when you sit, cough or sneeze.
How Our Sciatica Care Plan Works
1. Feel & Move Better
Once you start Chiropractic care, you begin a journey to stabilize your problems, stop the damage, and start the healing. Another great side effect of the initial intensive care is that you begin to feel better, sleep better, and move better.
2. Fix Your Problem
The second stage is the Corrective Phase, where we fix your problem by re-training your spine and body to get you healthier and stronger so that you can enjoy doing the things you want to and have to without experiencing a relapse every time you try to use your body.
3. Get Your Mojo Back
The third stage is the Protective Stage, also known as wellness or maintenance care. This stage helps you protect and maintain your new levels of strength, health, and function, preventing you from slipping backward as you enjoy, engage in your best life, and get your mojo back!
What Causes Sciatica Pain?
Sciatica pain is actually a sign that you have an underlying problem putting pressure on a nerve in your lower back. The most common cause of this nerve compression is a bulging or herniated lumbar disc. Piriformis syndrome is another common cause of sciatica. The piriformis is a muscle that lies directly over the sciatic nerve. If this muscle becomes tight or if you have a spasm in this muscle, it puts pressure directly on the sciatic nerve. Occasionally, sciatic pain in men is caused by sitting on a wallet.
The Sciatic Nerve
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your pelvis, through your hip area and buttocks and down each leg. The sciatic nerve branches into smaller nerves as it travels down the legs providing feeling to your thighs, legs, and feet as well as controlling many of the muscles in your lower legs. The term sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of this nerve.
