Is Sciatica Causing Pain Down Your Leg?

Sciatica often starts in the lower back and travels through the hip, buttock, and down one leg. It can feel sharp, burning, or electric — and may worsen when sitting or standing for long periods.

You may notice:

• Pain radiating from the lower back into the leg

• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

• Weakness in the affected leg

• Sharp pain when standing up

• Discomfort that worsens with prolonged sitting

Sciatic nerve irritation can significantly affect your daily comfort and mobility.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed.

Common causes include:

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Spinal misalignment

• Muscle tightness (especially in the hips or piriformis)

• Degenerative disc changes

• Inflammation around spinal joints

Identifying the exact source of nerve irritation is key to effective treatment.

Our Approach to Sciatica Relief

At Spine Fix Chiropractic, we focus on reducing pressure on the nerve while improving spinal function.

1. Detailed Evaluation

We assess spinal alignment, nerve involvement, posture, and movement patterns.

2. Targeted Spinal Adjustments

Gentle adjustments help reduce pressure and improve joint motion.

3. Decompression & Supportive Therapies

When appropriate, decompression therapy may help relieve disc-related nerve pressure.

4. Corrective Exercises

We provide stabilization exercises to support the lower back and reduce recurrence.

Our goal is to reduce nerve irritation and help you move without fear of flare-ups.
