Relieve sciatic nerve pain and improve mobility with expert chiropractic care at Flintridge Family Chiropractic. Our gentle, non-invasive treatments target the root cause of sciatica, offering long-lasting relief from discomfort. We focus on correcting misalignments, reducing nerve pressure, and restoring proper function for a pain-free, active lifestyle.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, becomes irritated or compressed. This can result in sharp pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates from your lower back down through your hips, legs, and feet. You might feel discomfort on one side of your body, and the pain can range from mild to severe. Often caused by a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tightness, sciatica can significantly limit your mobility and quality of life if left untreated.
Common Symptoms of Sciatica:
- Sharp, shooting pain radiating from the lower back to the leg
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation in the leg or foot
- Numbness along the sciatic nerve pathway
- Muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot
- Pain that worsens when sitting or standing for long periods
- Difficulty moving or controlling the leg due to nerve irritation
- Burning sensation in the lower back, hip, or leg
- Pain that affects only one side of the body
How Does Chiropractic Care Help With Sciatica?
Chiropractic care offers a natural and effective solution for sciatica by addressing the root causes of nerve irritation. Sciatica is often linked to spinal misalignments, herniated discs, or muscle tension that compresses the sciatic nerve. Chiropractors use targeted adjustments to realign the spine, relieving pressure on the nerve and allowing your body to heal. These non-invasive treatments not only reduce pain but also improve mobility and overall function.
At Flintridge Family Chiropractic, we tailor our approach to your specific needs. We use advanced techniques to gently adjust misaligned vertebrae, relax tight muscles, and promote proper nerve function. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief while preventing future flare-ups.
