What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is nerve irritation, creating a sensation of numbness, burning, or tingling, that travels from the butt down the back of the thigh, possibly to the lower leg and foot. With more than 3 million cases in the United States each year, sciatica is a very common ailment. Overcoming sciatica is not an easy feat, but thankfully sciatica responds very well to chiropractic treatment from Acorn Wellness in Walnut Creek. The key to sciatica chiropractic treatment is finding and addressing the underlying cause of the sciatic pain.

Sciatica Symptoms

Numbness, burning, or tingling sensations in the buttocks
Nerve sensations travel down the back of the thigh, possibly to the lower leg or foot
Lower back pain (lumbar spine) may or not be present
Muscle weakness causing difficulty walking
Pain from sitting

From low back pain to leg pain, the sciatica patient can feel mild to extreme pain, and it is important to reach out to a chiropractor for help for pain management. The pain you feel originates in the sciatic nerve, the largest and longest nerve in your body.

Can a Chiropractor Help With Sciatica?

Chiropractic treatment, especially when combined with soft tissue therapy (massage, stretching, and exercising) is incredibly effective at helping to resolve sciatica. Chiropractic adjustments take stress off of irritated nerves throughout the body, so this type of work gets very quick results.

I’ve been treating all members families for over 2 decades, and have seen sciatica occur in both men and women, but since I have a specialty as a prenatal chiropractor, I see it most often during chiropractic treatments during pregnancy. Anyone dealing with sciatica should schedule an appointment as soon as possible since this nerve interference, if left untreated, can get worse over time.
