Chiropractic is a safe, effective, and non-invasive method of care that can help to alleviate the symptoms of sciatica. Chiropractic is based on the principle of whole body health and helps to foster the bodyâs potential to heal itself.
As a chiropractor, I see quite a few patients demonstrating the symptoms of sciatica. The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the human body and spans from the lower back to the foot on both sides of the body. Typically sciatica presents itself as pain in the low back, buttock, thigh, leg and foot on one side of the body (both sides can occur). Other symptoms can include weakness of the leg and foot muscles, a sensation of pins and needs, tingling and numbness.
