Sciatica Pain Relief at Westwood Family Chiropractic

Sciatica can cause sharp, radiating pain that makes it difficult to sit, stand, or move comfortably. The discomfort often extends from the lower back down to the legs, disrupting your daily routine.

At Westwood Family Chiropractic, we offer personalized care from an experienced sciatica chiropractor in Westwood, focused on relieving pressure on the nerve, easing pain, and helping you move with confidence again.

Common Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica pain occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed. Common causes include:

• Herniated or Bulging Discs: When spinal discs shift out of place, they can press on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal Misalignments: Improper spinal alignment can put stress on the lower back and sciatic nerve.
• Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness or spasms in the piriformis muscle can irritate the sciatic nerve.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: Age-related wear and tear can lead to inflammation and nerve irritation.
• Prolonged Sitting or Poor Posture: Extended periods of sitting can increase pressure on the lower spine and sciatic nerve.

Symptoms Related to Sciatica

Sciatica symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and often include:

• Sharp, burning, or shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs
• Tingling or numbness along the sciatic nerve path
• Weakness in the leg or foot

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, chiropractic care can help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and improve overall function.
