Lower back pain and sciatica are common conditions that can significantly impact daily life and mobility. Pain refers to discomfort or pain in the lower region of the spine, while sciatica specifically involves pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. This pain is one of the main causes of disability.
Symptoms of back pain and sciatica can vary widely, ranging from dull aches and stiffness to sharp, shooting pain that travels down the leg. Individuals may also experience tingling, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, or legs, particularly along the path of the sciatic nerve.
Often a common cause that we see in patients is mechanical in nature. This mean the joints either stop moving properly or there are changes in the proper alignment of the spinal bones. This causes pain and stiffness, decreased range of motion, muscle spasms or tightness, and inflammation. Eventually this can cause the joints to wear down prematurely which can irritate nearby spinal nerves.
Sciatica causes pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, from your lower back down one or both legs.
Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis pressing on the nerve.
Chiropractic care relieves symptoms by realigning the spine, easing nerve pressure, and encouraging natural healing.
Finding the true cause is key to creating a treatment plan that works and solves the actual problem.
