Sciatica

Ever experience that slow, gradually intensifying pain down the back of your leg? Generally this pain is felt when sitting for a long period of time. Most just assume they just have to deal with it, but it does not have to be this way.

What Causes Sciatica?

Symptoms of numbness, shooting, or burning pain from the buttocks down to the lower leg and even into the foot are commonly referred to as sciatica. These symptoms are typically caused by the irritation of the sciatic nerve root which runs from the low back through the buttocks and down the back of each leg. When this nerve is irritated, tingling, dull achy or burning sensations can be experienced.

When this nerve is irritated, tingling, dull achy or burning sensations can be experienced. Conservative treatments such as manipulation/adjustments, electrotherapy, and stretching or massage have been shown to decrease symptoms and allow patients to regain a pain free life style.
