Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is not a diagnosis. It is a symptom of irritation or compression along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back down each leg.

Common Causes of Sciatica

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Pregnancy-related changes
  • Poor posture or repetitive strain

If left untreated, sciatica can cause ongoing pain, limited mobility, and long-term nerve irritation.

Common Symptoms

  • Sharp, shooting pain down the leg
  • Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
  • Muscle weakness in the affected leg
  • Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing
  • Difficulty walking or climbing stairs

If left untreated, sciatica can cause ongoing pain, limited mobility, and long-term nerve irritation.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At Hosmer, we target both pain relief and underlying causes of sciatica. Our approach typically includes:

  • Gentle spinal adjustments: Precise, controlled adjustments help reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, restore proper spinal alignment, and improve mobility.
  • Soft tissue therapy: We target tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and glutes to relieve tension, reduce inflammation, and support nerve decompression.
  • Rehabilitative exercises: Customized exercises strengthen the core and supporting musculature, improving stability and helping prevent future flare-ups.
  • Lifestyle coaching and ergonomic guidance: We provide personalized recommendations for posture, workstation setup, and daily movement habits to reduce strain on the spine and support long-term relief.

These evidence-based techniques help restore normal nerve function, reduce inflammation, and support long-term recovery.
