Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica can be caused by various factors, including:
Herniated Disc
A herniated or slipped disc is a common cause of sciatica, as it can compress the nerve roots forming the sciatic nerve, resulting in inflammation and pain. Seeking sciatic pain treatment can help alleviate these symptoms effectively and restore your comfort.
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis, the narrowing of the spinal canal, can compress the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica. This leads to pain, numbness, and weakness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. Symptoms worsen with standing or walking but improve with sitting.
Degenerative Disease
Disc degeneration from wear and tear on the spinal discs can put pressure on the sciatic nerve roots, causing discomfort. Seeking proper care can provide effective sciatic nerve pain relief and improve your quality of life.
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis happens when a bone in the spine slips out of place over the one below it. This can cause back pain, stiffness, or sciatica. Chiropractic care helps reduce pain, improve movement, and support a healthy spine.
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis muscle in the buttocks can sometimes compress or irritate the sciatic nerve, causing symptoms similar to sciatica. Proper sciatic pain treatment can alleviate these symptoms and restore your comfort.
Trauma or Injury
Injuries to the spine or buttocks can damage the sciatic nerve and its surrounding structures, leading to sciatica. Seeking effective sciatica pain relief can help alleviate symptoms and promote healing.
Symptoms of Sciatica
The primary symptom of sciatica is lower back pain that radiates through the buttock and down the leg. Additional symptoms may include:
- Sharp, shooting pain in the leg
- Numbness or tingling sensation in the leg or foot
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
Fortunately, surgery is not always necessary to relieve sciatic pain. At Brittian Chiropractic Center, we offer effective sciatica treatment through chiropractic adjustments, helping alleviate lower back pain and sciatica-related discomfort. Our gentle spinal manipulations realign vertebrae, reducing sciatic nerve pressure, improving mobility, and easing pain—especially from sports injuries like football or hockey.
