Sciatica

Sciatica is nerve pain from damage to or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica commonly causes low back, buttock, or leg pain. During pregnancy, women can be prone to experience sciatica due to the added stresses to the lower back and pelvic regions. Other causes of sciatic pain can be sitting for prolonged periods, improper or excessive lifting, and disc injuries. Chiropractic care is effective at reducing the stresses in the lower back and buttock region, restoring normal function to the sciatic nerve and feeling good again.
