Chiropractor for Sciatica
Sciatica is a broad term used to describe lower back pain and leg pain caused by compression of the large sciatic nerve that originates in the lower back and travels through the back of each leg. Pain caused by sciatica can vary from infrequent and irritating to constant and debilitating. If sciatica is left untreated the symptoms can worsen, and it can make it hard to stand and walk.
Sciatica can affect anyone, especially those who spend a lot of time sitting or bending and lifting, putting strain on the lower back. It is important that you have sciatic pain treated effectively so that the pain does not persist or gradually worsen.
