Sciatica is not a condition itself but a symptom of an underlying problem in the lower spine. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. When something compresses or irritates this nerve at its root, the result is pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that can travel all the way to your foot.
The most common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs, spinal stenosis, and misalignment of the lumbar vertebrae. At Advanced Family Chiropractic, we examine your lower spine to identify exactly where the nerve is being compressed. Chiropractic adjustments to the lumbar spine and pelvis are the primary approach. Many patients also benefit from Cox Flexion-Distraction, a gentle decompression technique that is especially effective for disc-related sciatica.
