Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

Pinched nerves can cause symptoms like numbness and tingling, but they can also be a source of pain. If you've been struggling with back pain, and the pain radiates down towards your legs, you may be dealing with sciatic nerve pain. At Discover Chiropractic in Austin, TX, we can help relieve the pressure on compressed nerves gently and naturally, to provide pain relief. 

What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?

The sciatic nerve is the biggest nerve in the body. While slipped or bulging discs in the spine are a common cause of sciatica, other risk factor can also contribute to sciatic pain and irritation, including:

• Age related changes to the spine, including bone spurs and herniated discs.
• Obesity puts additional pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Sitting for prolonged periods of time leads to weakness in the core and back muscles.

Symptoms of sciatica can include sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, as well as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. The pain might affect just one side of the body. These symptoms might be aggravated by basic activities, including sitting, standing, and walking around. 

Without treatment, sciatica can be difficult to live with. Our chiropractor can help determine the cause of your sciatic nerve pain, allowing him to quickly relieve your symptoms and prevent future pain. Our chiropractor can also suggest lifestyle changes to help keep your body in balance.
