Sciatica is a painful condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched or irritated. It can cause tingling numbness or weakness in one leg, produce a burning, shooting, or radiating sensation, or create severe, sharp, and often excruciating pain that can stop you in your tracks. It can be localized or travel from the lower back or pelvis, into the buttocks, back of the thighs and calves, and into the feet and toes – or in all of these places at once. No matter where or how you experience sciatica pain, it can disrupt virtually every aspect of your life by making it difficult to walk, sit, stand, or even lie down.

 

At Rock Chiropractic, we understand the unique nature and complexities of this painful condition, which can range from irritating to debilitating. The good news is that sciatica can usually be treated and healed without surgery and permanent damage. Unlike some doctors who try to treat every case of sciatica with a standardized approach or treatment regimen, we focus on treating the actual medical cause of the sciatica pain, rather than just treating–or covering up–the symptoms.
