What is Sciatica?

Sciatica stems from the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve of the human body. This structure is a union of roots that reach from the lower spine to the soles of your feet, covering much of the sensation in the lower half of your body. When the sciatic nerve becomes damaged or irritated in some neurological way, this is known as sciatica. This condition will manifest in symptoms like lower back pain, numbness, tingling, and a loss of sensation. Sciatica is usually experienced in the lower back, legs, buttocks, and hips. This nerve pain can range from mild irritation to severe pain.

What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?

A leading cause of sciatica is nerve compression, a condition where too much pressure is applied to a nerve and its surrounding tissue. Sciatic nerve compression can be related to disc herniation, a condition where a spinal disc moves out of its normal placement. There's also foramina stenosis, the narrowing of the intervertebral passage where sciatic nerve roots travel. Age-related deterioration of the spine can also result in sciatic nerve compression. If you're unsure of what is causing your sciatica, you can get checked in at Dunwoody Chiropractic for an evaluation.

A variety of methods can be used to treat sciatica and in many cases, the chiropractor will do some testing to determine the best treatment options. Massage therapy and spinal manipulation are common treatments for sciatica. Some forms of care call for a chiropractic approach.
