Common Causes of Sciatica
Issues involving the sciatic nerve almost always point to other structural issues in and around your spine. We often see these as common causes of sciatica:
- Spinal misalignment: Misaligned vertebrae can cause inflammation and irritation around the nerves throughout your spine.
- Piriformis syndrome: Your sciatic nerve travels through a muscle deep in your outer glute. When this muscle contracts or activates, it can put pressure on the sciatic nerve and cause excruciating pain.
- Bulging or herniated disc: Pressure on your nerve roots as a result of a disc that’s out of place requires an intentional and meticulous approach to treatment.
- Prolonged sitting: Extended periods of being seated can compress your lower spine and the surrounding muscles, leading to strain and pressure on your nerves.
Let our team of chiropractors come alongside you to assess the root cause of your sciatica pain.
"Wilson Chiropractic changed my life. I came in with debilitating hip pain, after already having tried physical therapy, dry needling, and acupuncture. I am definitely a success story after a little more than a year in Doctor Jake’s care.
I went from hardly being able to walk to rock climbing and overnight hiking trips without pain. The biggest benefit I found from Wilson Chiropractic was peace of mind, knowing that someone truly had my back (no pun intended). "

"Have had some sciatic pain due to pregnancy and in 2 weeks of treatment I’ve started to feel much better. I also like that they gave me exercises to do at home to help aid with the pain. I highly recommend this practice!"

When Should You Seek Chiropractic Care for Sciatica Pain?
We suggest seeking professional care if you experience:
- Pain or numbness that radiates from your lower back down through your glutes and into your legs.
- A cyclical string of flare-ups followed by periods of relief that don’t seem to be improving.
- A burning or “electricity” feeling that is ever-present and feels like it could be set off with a sudden movement.
- The symptoms you’re experiencing have deterred you from engaging with aspects of your life you usually have no problems with.
We understand the discouragement that comes with experiencing symptoms of sciatica. Let us conduct our new patient exam to determine where your pain is originating from.
