What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a painful condition characterized by radiating pain along the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. In addition to shooting pain, you may experience burning, tingling, or numbness. Sciatica pain can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg. While sciatica typically affects one side of the body, it can occur on both sides.

Certain factors can exacerbate sciatica such as sitting for long periods of time, sudden movements coughing, or sneezing. You may also find that your pain is worse when you first wake up in the morning. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to schedule an appointment with our chiropractors for an evaluation.

• Aging
