Common Causes of Sciatic Nerve Pain

Specifically, sciatica refers to a condition where the large sciatic nerve, which runs through the lower back, becomes compressed. This leads to severe pain in the lower back, as well as other possible symptoms, such as:

• numbness or tingling sensation
• muscle weakness
• fatigue

There are many potential causes of sciatic nerve pain, though a compressed spine or compressed vertebrae along the spinal column are a common culprit. When the spine becomes compressed over time, this can cause excessive pressure to be placed on the sciatic nerve. In some cases, alignment problems in the spine can also cause pressure to be placed on the sciatic nerve, thus leading to pain.

How Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatica Can Help

The good news is that chiropractic treatment for sciatica can be extremely effective in helping patients find relief. In our office, we always recommend a thorough evaluation and exam with our chiropractor, as this allows us not only to confirm a sciatica diagnosis but to determine a specific and customized plan for treatment that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

For patients with sciatica caused by decompression of the spine and vertebrae, spinal decompression therapy is often the best option. This therapy utilizes negative pressure along the spinal column to decompress the spine and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve itself. Another therapy known as spinal adjustment can help us to correct alignment problems in the spine that could be contributing to sciatica nerve pain. Both methods are non-invasive and drug-free.
