Leg Pain and Sciatica – these are common symptoms arising from misalignments in the spine in the low back area.  Sciatica is an intense shooting pain that usually travels down the back of the leg caused by pressure on or irritation of the sciatic nerve.  The irritation is often caused by inflammation resulting in burning, sharp pain, or nerve sensations such as tingling, numbness, or a pins and needles feeling.  Traditional medical care for such a condition is to prescribe pain medicines or injections, muscle relaxants, physical therapy, or surgery if the above aren’t successful.  Adverse side effects of drug dependency on strong pain medicines with limited relief are a possibility with this course of treatment.  Chiropractic as an alternative offers potential relief of pressure off the spinal nerves, joints and discs without drugs or surgery.  This can occur because chiropractic treatment utilizes adjustments (precise manipulation using the hands) to remove nerve interference by aligning the joints of the spine, an effective treatment to decrease pain and irritation on the spinal nerve roots.  Restoration of a normally functioning spine is the key to treating sciatica with chiropractic care.
