The Sciatic Nerve is the longest nerve in the whole body. Nerve roots from multiple levels of the low back come together to travel down the leg and supply information like movement and pain to and from the brain. Many patients use the word “sciatica” generally, but it technically refers to a set of symptoms not a cause of back pain or leg pain. Sciatica symptoms include tingling, burning, numbness, weakness, and/or pain traveling (radiating) from the back and down the leg.
Chiropractic Care can help Sciatica
Sciatica, or traveling leg pain, is often caused by deconditioning and degeneration of the spine and its supporting structures that build up from years of micro-injury and sometimes from acute trauma. Oftentimes an event like sneezing, bending down, or lifting is enough of a factor to “break the camel’s back” and cause symptoms of the underlying condition.
