Pain that radiates from the lower back, through your hips, and down to the back of your one leg is one of the common symptoms of sciatica. Sciatica cases are commonly caused by a herniated disc. The pain associated with sciatica can be moderate to severe. Sciatic pain gets worse with sneezing, coughing, bending, and twisting. Sciatica causes inflammation, pain, and usually some numbness and tingling feeling in the affected leg.

Risk factors of sciatica;

• Age
• Obesity
• Occupation
• Prolonged sitting
• Diabetes

Chiropractic care can help ease sciatic pain without medications. It is also considered a safe treatment option for sciatica.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR SCIATICA
Chiropractors can apply spinal manipulation to rest back the herniated disc into its position to take the pressure off the sciatic nerve. Some people treated by chiropractic care respond very quickly but some take time to recover depending on the condition of the disc a chiropractor has to correct. Before the chiropractor performs the treatment they will do some assessments first to determine the best treatment for you. The chiropractor may recommend you some exercises to do at home to help reduce pain and may also provide nutrition and wellness education that can help ease your symptoms.
