Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates from the lower back down the legs. At Ascend Chiropractic and Wellness, chiropractic care gently realigns the spine to relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility for lasting relief.
Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
Sciatica can cause significant pain, limiting your mobility and impacting your daily life. At Ascend Chiropractic and Wellness, we provide targeted chiropractic adjustments designed to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and reduce discomfort, helping you move more freely and comfortably.
What is Sciatica and What Causes It?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — which runs from the lower back down the legs — becomes compressed or irritated. Pain typically affects one side of the body, radiating down the leg, but in some cases, both legs may be affected. Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis. While medications may temporarily relieve symptoms, chiropractic care addresses the root cause to provide long-lasting relief.
Can Sciatica Be Prevented?
Although sciatica cannot always be prevented, you can reduce your risk by avoiding improper lifting, sudden twisting motions, or activities that strain the back. For individuals prone to sciatica, ongoing maintenance care with a chiropractor, combined with recommended stretches and exercises, can help minimize flare-ups and maintain spinal health.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
At Ascend Chiropractic and Wellness, our chiropractors focus on gently realigning the spine to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. By removing the source of compression, inflammation is reduced, nerve irritation subsides, and pain is alleviated. Our goal is to not only provide relief but also support long-term spinal health to prevent future issues.
