Sciatica is a very common condition affecting the sciatic nerve, the largest and longest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the buttock, down into each leg, and into the feet.
Sciatic pain can begin gradually and intensify over time or start quite suddenly, seemingly from nowhere. It is often aggravated by sitting, coughing, or sneezing. Symptoms can vary widely from a mild ache to sharp, shooting, burning and/or excruciating discomfort. For some, pain can be severe and debilitating, for others, symptoms may be infrequent and irritating but have the potential to worsen.
We see people suffering with Sciatica every single day, it is one of the most common conditions we treat and our holistic chiropractic care consistently achieves life-changing results.
Having a herniated or ‘slipped’ disc does not condemn you to a lifetime suffering from sciatica – our patients are proof of that.
