Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica causes sharp pain that originates in the lower back and travels down your legs. The condition occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes inflamed or irritated due to a herniated disc or injury. Sciatica can cause a variety of symptoms. You may experience pain that becomes more severe when standing up, consistent pain on one side of your lower back, or a burning sensation in your leg. If you experience any of these symptoms, we recommend consulting with our chiropractors, as the pain can lead to permanent nerve damage.
