Top Five Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica is the result of pressure on the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the back of each leg. If there is an injury or pressure on the sciatic nerve, the pain in the lower back spreads to the hip, buttocks, and leg. Chiropractic care from David Chiropractic in Sebastian, FL, can help alleviate sciatic nerve pain and send you on the road to recovery.

How Do I Know if I Have Sciatica?

Pain occurs when one of the sciatic nerves becomes pinched or irritated and can be felt at any number of places. The symptoms of sciatica tend to appear suddenly and can last for days or weeks, although it sometimes goes away within hours. Symptoms include:

  1. Lower back pain that extends through the hip and buttock and down one leg.

  2. The pain gets worse when you cough or sneeze.

  3. It may also be a mild tingling or burning sensation down one leg or the leg may feel numb or weak at times.

  4. The pain in the lower back or leg gets worse when you sit down and makes it difficult to stand up.

  5. There is numbness, or a “pins-and-needles” feeling in the toes or foot.

No two sciatic nerve pain episodes are the same, and the pain can vary from mild to so severe it is difficult to move or walk.

Can David Chiropractic Help My Sciatica?

Yes! Don’t let sciatic nerve pain run your life. Sciatica may be treated effectively through chiropractic care. Spinal adjustments, or manipulation, are fundamental to chiropractic care. Adjusting the spine helps to realign vertebrae and remove pressure from the sciatic nerve. Other non-invasive treatments may be advised for a full recovery from sciatic nerve pain.
