What is Sciatica?

Sciatica causes pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, starting in the lower back and moving through the buttocks and down one or both legs. The pain can be mild and annoying or so severe that it makes it hard to move, work, or enjoy daily activities. People with sciatica may also feel tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the leg that is affected.

Why Does Sciatica Happen?

Several factors can contribute to the onset of sciatica, including:
  • Herniated or bulging discs can press on the sciatic nerve in your spine, which may cause pain and discomfort.
  • Spinal misalignment or problems with the lower back bones can irritate nerve roots and lead to sciatica symptoms.
  • Piriformis syndrome happens when a muscle in your buttocks tightens or spasms, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  • Inflammation or age-related changes can narrow the space around the nerve, which may cause irritation.
  • Injury or trauma from accidents or falls can affect the lower back and trigger sciatica by impacting the nerve pathway.

Sciatica FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between back pain and sciatica?

Back pain usually stays in the spine or muscles, while sciatica follows the nerve and often goes past the knee into the leg.

Q: Can chiropractic care help sciatica?

Yes, especially when nerve irritation arises from mechanical problems, posture, or movement imbalances.

Q: How soon will I feel better?

Some patients start to feel better after the first few visits, but lasting relief usually requires a short treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Q: Should I stop exercising if my sciatica flares?

Not always. We work with you to adjust your movements so you can stay active without worsening your symptoms.

Q: Do I need imaging (X-ray or MRI) for sciatica?

Not always. We usually check how you move first. If we think imaging is needed, we will let you know.
