SCIATICA: RELIEVING PAIN AT THE SOURCE
Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain, tingling, or numbness radiating from the lower back down through the leg. It’s often caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, frequently due to spinal misalignments or herniated discs. While medications can mask the pain, chiropractic care addresses the root cause by restoring proper spinal function.
Key Insight:
Unlike temporary pain relief methods, chiropractic adjustments target the underlying mechanical dysfunctions in the spine. This approach not only alleviates pain but promotes long-term healing and mobility.
