Sciatic pain can be debilitating. It is caused by compression, pinching, or damaging that occurs to the sciatic nerve that extends from the spinal cord and branches out at the lower back. The nerves then travel from the lower back to both legs. This is why sciatica flare-ups often involve back pain as well as pain and weakness in the hips and legs. Treating this kind of nerve-based pain is reliant on addressing the damage done to the nerves and restoring normal position, balance, and operation of those nerves.

How Chiropractors Can Help Treat Sciatica

• Maintains spinal alignment - when the vertebrae of the spine become misaligned, they can cause the nerves to be pressed and inflamed and painful.
• Relieves pinched nerves - when nerves are pinched, they cannot communicate with the nervous system correctly, which often leads to pain and weakness.
• Strengthens back muscles - when the muscles of the back are strong it helps keep the spine properly aligned and reduces the chance of back injury.
• Improves blood flow - when your chiropractor does routine adjustments it helps keep blood flowing properly which helps keep the spine healthy.
• Speeds healing and cell growth - with everything in proper balance and in good order, the body is better prepared to heal itself and recover after an injury.
