Sciatica Treatment

Sciatica arises when the sciatic nerve, running from your lower back through your hip and down your leg, becomes irritated. This can be caused by various factors, including:

• Disc issues
• Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
• Bone spurs
• Scar tissue
• Nerve tension
• Inflammation

Recognizing Sciatica Symptoms:

Sciatica can manifest in various ways, including:

• Gluteal pain
• Hip pain
• Thigh pain
• Calf pain
• Leg tightness
• Numbness or tingling in the leg, foot, or toes
• Leg weakness
• Coldness in the leg or foot

Symptoms typically affect one side, but can be bilateral or shift. Prolonged irritation can lead to muscle atrophy.
