Whether you’re experiencing shooting pain, tingling, or numbness down your leg, our chiropractic care is designed to address the underlying causes of sciatica and provide targeted relief for long-lasting comfort.
Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain running down the sciatic nerve, usually from pressure or irritation in the lower back. At Hagley Road Chiropractic, we take time to understand your symptoms and create a treatment plan that suits you. Our goal is to ease and reduce pain, relieve pressure on the nerve and improve spinal health for those suffering from sciatica.
Sciatica is pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve. It starts in the lower back and travels through the hips and buttocks, then down one leg. In most cases, sciatica only affects one side of the body.
The pain can be sharp, burning, or shooting and may feel intense at times. However, most people find relief with non-surgical treatment
True sciatica happens when part of the sciatic nerve becomes compressed. This is often caused by a slipped or herniated disc, a bone spur on the spine, or spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal canal.
When the nerve is compressed, it can lead to inflammation, pain, muscle spasms, tingling, or numbness in the affected leg. Other conditions can cause similar symptoms, which is why an accurate diagnosis is important.
Signs and Symptoms
– Pain radiating from the lower back into the buttock and down the back of the legs.
– The back & leg pain intensity varies, ranging from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation, or severe pain.
– Numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg.
Sciatica is sometimes misunderstood or misdiagnosed, often treated with painkillers or advised to be endured. However, at Hagley Road Chiropractic Clinic, we believe there’s a better approach. Our skilled chiropractors can accurately diagnose and treat the root cause of your sciatic pain. Using techniques like joint manipulation, chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue work, and tailored rehabilitation exercises, we aim to provide effective relief from sciatica.
Our chiropractic treatment takes a targeted and personalised approach to relieve sciatica. Through thorough assessments and customised treatment plans, we aim not only to alleviate your immediate discomfort but also to enhance the overall health and function of your spine, providing relief from sciatic nerve pain.
In addition to treating sciatica, we provide practical strategies to prevent future issues. Learn about exercises for spinal health, proper posture, and lifestyle adjustments for optimal well-being.
