Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—which branches from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. This discomfort is typically caused by compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the lumbar spine, often due to a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or inflammation.
Common symptoms include sharp or burning pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg. While sciatica usually affects one side of the body, the intensity and location of symptoms can vary widely.
At Midtown Chiropractic Clinic, we take a comprehensive, subluxation-based approach to identifying the root cause of sciatic nerve irritation. Through gentle, targeted adjustments and personalized care plans, we aim to restore proper alignment, reduce nerve pressure, and help you move freely again—without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
