SCIATICA

What is Sciatica?

Characterised by pain and discomfort in the nerve running from the lower back to the back of each leg, sciatica is a common condition.

If you’re experiencing pain extending from the lower back to your hips, glutes, legs, and feet, it might be sciatica.

Sciatica is not a medical condition itself but a symptom of an underlying problem, often related to nerve impingement in the lower back. The sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body, can become irritated or compressed due to various factors, resulting in the characteristic pain and discomfort associated with sciatica. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc, where the gel-like centre of a spinal disc protrudes and presses on the nerve roots. 

CAUSES OF SCIATICA:

  1. Herniated Disc: The most prevalent cause of sciatica, a herniated disc occurs when the soft inner material of a disc leaks out and irritates or compresses the nearby nerves.
  2. Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can lead to compression of the sciatic nerve, causing sciatica symptoms.
  3. Degenerative Disc Disease: With age, the spinal discs may naturally deteriorate, leading to disc bulges, herniations, or spinal joint inflammation, all of which can contribute to sciatica.
  4. Spondylolisthesis: This condition occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another, placing pressure on the sciatic nerve roots.
  5. Piriformis Syndrome: In some cases, the sciatic nerve can be compressed or irritated by the piriformis muscle in the buttocks, leading to sciatica symptoms. 


SYMPTOMS OF SCIATICA:

  1. Lower back pain: The pain typically originates in the lower back and radiates down the buttock and leg, following the path of the sciatic nerve.
  2. Leg pain and numbness: Individuals with sciatica often experience sharp, shooting pain, tingling, or numbness along the affected leg, potentially extending to the foot and toes.
  3. Muscle weakness: Weakness or difficulty moving the leg, foot, or toes may occur due to the nerve impingement associated with sciatica.

Who Suffers from Sciatica?


FROM MISALIGNED VERTEBRAE AND NARROWED SPINE TO TUMOURS AND PREGNANCY, SCIATIC NERVE COMPRESSION HAS MANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.

If left untreated, sciatic pain can leave you vulnerable to experiencing sensory loss in muscles near the sciatic nerve.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatica

Our chiropractic treatment is holistic and patient-centered.

At Centenary Chiropractic Centre, we offer hands-on spinal manipulation to help ease your pain. Have you recently suffered from a tissue injury or met with an accident? Chiropractic treatment for sciatica may be your remedy!

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and drug-free approach to managing sciatica symptoms, addressing the root cause of the condition. Some effective chiropractic treatments for sciatica relief include:
  1. Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve. By applying gentle and targeted manual manipulations, chiropractors aim to improve spinal function, alleviate nerve compression, and reduce pain.
  2. Decompression Therapy: Spinal decompression involves gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure, allowing injured discs to retract and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  3. Therapeutic Exercises: Chiropractors prescribe specific exercises and stretches to improve core strength, enhance flexibility, and provide stability to the spine. These exercises can alleviate symptoms, improve posture, and prevent future episodes of sciatica.
  4. Cold Laser Therapy: This non-invasive therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain associated with sciatica.
  5. Lifestyle Recommendations: Chiropractors provide holistic care by offering lifestyle recommendations to support overall well-being and prevent sciatica flare-ups. This may include guidance on maintaining proper posture, ergonomics, and adopting healthy habits.
By combining spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and other chiropractic treatments, individuals can experience relief from sciatic pain, improve their overall well-being, and regain their mobility.
