What is Sciatica?

Sciatica means a type of pain that starts due to compression of the nerve root in the lumbar spine or one of the two sciatic nerves. These nerves are located on the left and right sides of the lower back. They stretch to the toes through the buttocks, legs, and feet.

Common Sciatica Causes and Risk Factors

This debilitating condition occurs mainly due to pressure on the nerve from a bone spur or herniated disc. The disc may herniate or rupture from overuse, back injury, and gradual breakdown as a result of aging. Narrowing of the spinal column and misaligned vertebrae can also lead to squeezing of the nerve. Other factors that put pressure on the lower back include:

  • Obesity
  • Increased pressure on the spine from pregnancy
  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Poor back support when lifting heavy

Common Sciatica Symptoms

Sciatic nerve pain symptoms are noticeable and hard to ignore. Symptoms include sharp, shooting, burning, or dull aching pain that may radiate from the lower back to any area the nerve is located. Therefore, buttock, leg, or foot pain can occur along with numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation. Walking and sitting may aggravate the symptoms.

Sciatica Treatment from Our Huntington, New York, Chiropractor

Dr. Mills will perform a physical examination and take a complete history of your health when diagnosing sciatica. If chiropractic care is right for you, we can go ahead and tailor a treatment plan which may include these methods:

  • Spinal Adjustments: Dr. Mill can safely realign the spinal joints using the diversified technique. This relieves pain and other sciatica symptoms by taking pressure off the affected nerve. Adjustment also triggers a flow of healing nutrients to the spine, reducing inflammation and helping the damaged disc to heal.
  • Spinal Decompression: This breakthrough therapy effectively relieves nerve pain due to a herniated disc and compressed nerve. It involves a flexion-distraction technique or vertebral axial decompression (VAX-D) to increase disc space and take pressure off the nerve.
