Understanding Sciatica

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that originates in the low back and extends down one or both legs. It often worsens with prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Sciatica can affect various groups of people, including pregnant women, individuals with diabetes, and those who are obese.

Typical Symptoms

If you’re wondering whether your symptoms align with sciatica, consider these common signs:

Hip Pain: You may experience discomfort in the hip area.
Tingling or Burning Sensation: A tingling or burning sensation running down your leg could be indicative of sciatica.
Weakness and Numbness: Some individuals with sciatica report weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot.
Continual Pain: Pain that predominantly affects one side of the buttocks is a typical symptom.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of techniques do you find successful for treating sciatica?

Finding the direct cause of sciatic pain is crucial to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. Typically, the low back bones are involved because that’s where the sciatic nerve originates, at the L4/L5 junction, and then travels down the leg. Dr. Brenda utilizes various chiropractic techniques, often employing a posterior to anterior lift of the L5 to help patients find relief.

How long until patients typically notice relief?

The time it takes to experience relief from sciatica varies based on factors such as the extent of nerve damage, the degree of spinal misalignment, and an individual’s healing rate. Dr. Brenda creates personalized care plans designed to yield results. Many patients report almost instant pain relief, with complete resolution within a few visits when closely following the recommended care plan.
