Understanding Sciatica
What is Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body, runs from your pelvis through your hips and buttocks and down each leg, branching into smaller nerves that provide sensation and control to the lower body. Sciatica refers to pain that follows this nerve path.
Nature of Sciatica Pain
Sciatica pain can be described as dull, achy, sharp, toothache-like, pins and needles, or similar to electric shocks.
Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica is generally caused by sciatic nerve compression due to lumbar spine subluxations, herniated discs, pregnancy, tumors, or non-spinal disorders such as diabetes or prolonged sitting on a wallet.
Sciatica Pain Relief with Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments
Chiropractic adjustment can reduce nerve irritability, inflammation, muscle spasms, pain, and other symptoms related to sciatica. A systematic review in 2015 suggests that chiropractic care provides relief for various types of spinal pain, including sciatica. These adjustments should not be painful.

Sciatica pain can result from heavy lifting, injuries, or pregnancy, often causing severe and debilitating pain that radiates to the lower back, buttocks, hips, and legs.
