Understanding Sciatica
 

Sciatica is a type of nerve pain that occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated. This nerve starts in the lower back and runs down the back of each leg.

 

One of the most common signs of sciatica is radiating pain that begins in the lower back and travels down the leg. Other symptoms may include numbness, tingling or weakness in the leg or foot.
 

Sciatica is more common than many people realise with up to 40 percent of adults expected to experience it during their lifetime.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Sciatica
 

Chiropractic care offers a safe, gentle and non addictive way to help manage sciatica without relying on prescription or over the counter medications.

​

At Top Chiropractic we provide hands-on chiropractic adjustments that work to reduce joint restrictions or misalignments in the spine and surrounding areas. This helps reduce inflammation, improve nerve function and restore healthy movement.

​

By improving spinal mobility and supporting the function of the nervous system your body can better manage the symptoms associated with sciatica.
