Sciatica

Sciatica is a pain that typically begins in the lower back and radiates down one or both of the back of the legs. The pain becomes worse with extended periods of sitting or standing in one position. Most of the time, lower back discs are involved. The nerves get irritated as the discs begin to bulge. If it is left alone, the nerve irritation can extend down the legs along the sciatic nerve.

Typically, the lower back is the spinal bones are the cause of the symptoms. Improving the malpositioned bones allows the joints to move fluidly and takes the pressure off of the nerves. This clears up the radiating symptoms and the lower back pain. If you are having these types of symptoms, schedule an appointment today! Do not neglect it!
