Sciatica Relief with
Midlothian Chiropractic
Sciatica refers to pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve; the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower spine down the legs. Symptoms can include sharp shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg or foot. For many people, sciatica is made worse by sitting, bending, or lifting.
Left unaddressed, sciatica can become persistent, interfering with work, exercise, and sleep. Chiropractic care offers a safe, drug-free approach to relieve pressure on the nerve and encourage natural healing.
How We Treat Sciatica?
Chiropractic adjustments gently restore normal function to the spine, relieving pressure on the nerve and reducing inflammation. Alongside adjustments, we may recommend targeted stretches, strengthening exercises, and lifestyle changes to prevent flare-ups.
