Sciatica is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs and lower back, caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractic care may be helpful for some people with sciatica as it addresses the underlying musculoskeletal problems associated with the condition. Chiropractors use manual adjustments and manipulations to help alleviate pain and improve mobility in the lower back and legs. They may also use other techniques such as soft tissue therapy, stretching, and exercises to help reduce inflammation and pain, and improve overall joint health.
Chiropractors may also recommend lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to help manage the symptoms of sciatica and prevent it from recurring.
