Sciatica

Sciatica is a painful condition affecting the sciatic nerve, common in individuals in their 40s and 50s. It causes discomfort from the lower back to the foot, often on one side of the body, with potential complications for bowel or bladder function. While spinal disc herniation is a leading cause, diagnosis is crucial due to symptom overlap with other conditions. Treatment options range from pain medication to surgery, but chiropractic care offers a noninvasive approach, addressing the root cause through spinal adjustments to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, promoting natural healing without side effects.
