Sciatica: Understanding the Root Cause
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body, running from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It typically affects one side of the body and can be debilitating when left untreated.
Common Causes
- •Herniated or bulging lumbar disc (L4/L5, L5/S1)
- •Piriformis syndrome — muscle impinging the sciatic nerve
- •Spinal stenosis narrowing the nerve canal
- •Degenerative disc disease
- •Spondylolisthesis — vertebral slippage
- •Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
- •Prolonged sitting and poor posture
How Chiropractic Helps
Chiropractic spinal manipulation relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve by correcting spinal misalignments and disc positions. Research shows chiropractic care is highly effective for sciatica — often more so than pain medications — with lasting results and no side effects.
