Sciatica is a common but often debilitating condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the hips and legs. The result is sharp, radiating pain that can make everyday movement difficult. At Peterson Chiropractic, we take a targeted, non-invasive approach to relieving sciatic pain and addressing its root cause.

Common symptoms of sciatica include:

– Sharp or burning pain radiating from the lower back through the buttock and leg

– Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

– Muscle weakness in the affected leg

– Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is often caused by a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tension that puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic care focuses on identifying the source of nerve compression rather than just masking the pain.

How We Treat Sciatica:

– Spinal adjustments to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve

– Targeted stretches and exercises to improve mobility

– Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension and inflammation

– Personalized treatment plans based on the underlying cause

What to Expect During Your Visit:

1. A thorough evaluation to pinpoint the source of nerve compression

2. A customized treatment plan targeting your specific symptoms

3. Ongoing adjustments and progress checks as your pain improves
