Sciatica is something you may have heard of, but you may not entirely understand it. Let our chiropractor answer your questions:

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that affects the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is located at the base of your spine. When it exits the spine, it requires space for proper nerve signal flow. If this space is compromised by muscle imbalances, shifted vertebrae or herniated discs, you experience a condition called sciatica.

How Do I Know If I Have Sciatica?

Our chiropractors listen to your symptoms and examine your spine to determine if you have sciatica. However, certain symptoms may signal a sciatica issue. For example, look for discomforts such as:

• Lower back pain
• Hip pain
• Buttock pain on one or both sides
• Pain that extends down one or both legs
• Leg weakness, numbness or tingling

Does Sciatica Happen Instantly?

Sciatica pain may happen suddenly or you may feel a gradual increase in your discomfort.

How Does Chiropractic Care Reduce Sciatica?

Dr. Lodes and Dr. Wharton use gentle chiropractic adjustments to alleviate the pressure off the sciatic nerve. Our chiropractors position your vertebrae into a healthier alignment that allows freedom in the sciatic nerve. Adjustments also create a larger space between the vertebrae to help your body heal herniated discs.

When Will I Feel Pain Relief?

Many of our clients feel better after their first visit. However, most require a series or adjustments to re-train your body to remain in a healthy alignment.

What Else Can You Do For Sciatica?

Our health team teaches you different exercises to strengthen your core and support a healthy posture. This goes a long way toward reducing your chances of struggling with sciatica in the future. We also show you lifestyle changes such as better sleeping positions, how to sit, stand and lift and ways to organize your desk to reduce strain on your lower back.
