Sciatica? Many patients experience: Pain in the buttocks or leg that worsens when sitting Burning or tingling down one or both legs Weakness, numbness or difficulty using your leg or foot... A shooting pain that makes standing difficult If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re likely to be in your 40’s or 50’s and have pain when coughing, sneezing or any kind of movement. Simply put, you probably have sciatica. What Is Sciatica? Like a large river created by smaller streams, four or five pairs of nerves exit the spine in the lower back to form the two sciatic nerves. The soft pulpy disc between each spinal bone is often involved. While a disc can’t slip, it can bulge, herniate or rupture. This can put direct pressure on the nearby nerves. The result? Swelling and inflammation. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected, the pain may also radiate down to the foot or toes. What You Can Do While sciatica can be distracting, it rarely produces permanent nerve damageespecially with prompt chiropractic care. In fact, chiropractic care is so successful in providing sciatica pain relief, it’s almost considered routine. The only challenge seems to be impatient patients who expect instant results. Unlike artificial solutions such as drugs or more drastic surgery, chiropractic care helps restore the proper relationships between bones, discs and nerves. This natural approach, relying on the healing ability of your body, moves at its own pace. If you’re dealing with sciatic nerve pain, consider giving our practice a call.

They bulge, herniate, degenerate and tear, but they don’t slip. Discs, along with the curves of the spine, serve as the shock absorbers of your body. Lower back pain may be the result of herniated discs and other disc problems. Separating each vertebra, they create the necessary spacing for nerves to exit the spinal cord to service the organs and tissues of your body. Rings of fibrous tissue called the annulus contain a soft jelly center. Here’s a look at two common disc ...problems. Bulging Disc A weakened area of the annulus can allow the softer center of the disc to bulge out like a balloon. This can put pressure on nearby nerves. Bulging discs respond well to chiropractic care. With improved spinal function we’ve seen many cases in which surgery was threatened, resolve nicely. Herniated Disc A herniated or ruptured disc tends to be more serious. It can occur anywhere in the spine, but seems most common in the lower back. This is when part of the soft center pushes out through a weakened area due to trauma or degeneration, putting pressure on the spinal cord.
