What Are the Symptoms of Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition that emerges when the sciatic nerve sustains damage. The damage may be from a herniated disc in your lower back or bone spurs you developed due to osteoarthritis, among other things. As those tissues continue to press on your sciatic nerve, they can cause many troublesome symptoms.
Persistent pain is the symptom most commonly associated with sciatica. This pain is often described as a burning sensation. It can start in your lower back and continue along the sciatic nerve pathway. As it travels through your lower body, it can cause discomfort in your buttocks, thighs, and legs.
Your sciatica pain may get worse whenever you have to move.
Aside from nagging pain, sciatica may cause other symptoms that can significantly compromise your quality of life. Your pinched sciatic nerve may cause your legs to feel numb. They may also be plagued with tingling sensations.
Since the sciatic nerve helps control your legs, any damage to it can also compromise your mobility. Walking around and standing can become difficult tasks because your legs aren’t working as they should.
The effects of sciatica can also affect your bladder and bowel functions. Those symptoms may emerge if you wait too long to address your condition.

What Sciatica Treatment Options Can Your Chiropractor Provide?
Experiencing lasting relief from your sciatica symptoms is possible if you seek treatment from a chiropractor.
Chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression are among the most effective treatments for sciatica. Your chiropractor can realign your spine to prevent a herniated disc or bone spur from further damaging your sciatic nerve.
Aside from chiropractic adjustments, your chiropractor may also add acupuncture to your sciatica treatment. Acupuncture helps by improving blood circulation near the affected part of your body. By improving blood circulation, acupuncture can direct more nutrients into damaged tissues and reduce inflammation in tissues that may be compressing the nerve.
