Find Sciatica Relief with Chiropractic Care

If you are experiencing lower back as well as leg pain all the way to your feet, you may be dealing with sciatica. At Foundation Chiropractic in Auburn, our chiropractors may be able to help you find the relief you need. Let’s take a look at what to know about sciatica.

What is Sciatica? 

The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back, down each side of the buttocks, and through the sides of the legs. Sometimes, the soft discs that cushion the vertebrae can become damaged, leading to a change in their shape. This change can put pressure on the sciatic nerve, resulting in widespread pain. The condition often arises from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal abnormalities.

While sciatica symptoms differ from person to person, many people who have the condition experience pain in the lower back and buttocks, as well as pain and tingling down the sides of one or both legs. In some cases, sciatica pain can reach all the way to the feet.

Can a Chiropractor Help With Sciatica?

Thankfully, working with a chiropractor may help to relieve sciatica pain. Disc issues, including herniated and bulging discs, are often the root cause of sciatica pain. Chiropractic care utilizes a variety of techniques to restore the spine to its natural alignment. Many people living with sciatica pain find that the pain eases when the spine is properly aligned.

When you come into our office for your appointment, we will talk with you about a personalized care plan designed specifically for you. Your care plan may include a variety of modalities, such as spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments, stretching exercises, lifestyle changes, and more. While you may feel immediate relief following your first adjustment, it can also take some time depending on how long you have been experiencing the pain. We'll discuss how often you need to schedule treatment sessions in order to support your body's natural healing process.
