Sciatica
Sciatica is inflammation of
the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the
largest and longest nerve in your body. It
runs from your spinal cord, all the
way down the legs and into the toes.
Normally, sciatica affects only one side of
the body. Pain often radiates down
the buttock or leg and can range from a
tingling sensation to a burning,
shooting pain that makes standing almost
impossible.
A common cause of sciatica is the
misalignment of the spinal bones in the low
back or pelvis. Bed rest and epidural
injections have shown to be significantly
unsuccessful with sciatica, in some cases
interfering with healing. Chiropractic has
been shown to help relieve sciatic nerve
pain by realigning the spinal bones through
gentle manipulation, thereby taking pressure
off of the sciatic nerve
