If your symptoms are getting worse or you can’t find relief from home remedies, you should consider chiropractic care. At Chapman Health Group, Dr. Todd Chapman specializes in chiropractic sciatica treatment in Leesburg, FL. He can help you find lasting relief from back pain, neck pain, and sciatica symptoms like numbness, tingling, and nerve pain. Here is your guide to understanding sciatica and finding relief through chiropractic care.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a collection of symptoms that occur when your sciatic nerve is injured, irritated, or compressed. Your sciatic nerves are the two largest nerves in your body. Each nerve runs from your lower back and down your butt and the back of each leg. You can develop sciatica symptoms as a result of a herniated disc, bulging or slipped disc, bone spur, spinal cyst or tumor, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, or an injury or trauma to the spine.
How Do You Know if You Have Sciatica?
You may have sciatica if you have back pain along with other uncomfortable symptoms, such as:
- Nerve pain, or a sharp burning or itching pain that radiates down the length of your sciatic nerve
- A tingling or pins and needles feeling in your lower back, hip, butt, leg, or foot
- A numb feeling in your lower back, leg, or foot
- Muscle weakness in your leg or foot
- Back pain that worsens when lying down, standing, or walking
- Back pain that intensifies when you laugh, cough, or sneeze
When Should You Seek Chiropractic Sciatica Treatment?
You should visit Dr. Chapman if your sciatica symptoms or back pain doesn’t respond to home remedies. You should also make an appointment if your back pain and sciatica symptoms get worse over time instead of better or are preventing you from your normal routine.
