What is sciatica?
Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, often causing pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from the low back/glute into the leg.
What causes sciatica?
Common causes include disc irritation, spinal stenosis, piriformis-related irritation, and joint dysfunction in the low back or pelvis.
How do you determine what’s causing my sciatica?
An exam looks at nerve tension, strength, reflexes, movement patterns, and spinal/pelvic mechanics to identify the most likely source.
What treatments do you use for sciatica?
Care may include chiropractic adjustments, decompression (when appropriate), soft-tissue work, mobility drills, and exercises to stabilize the spine and hips.
Should I rest or keep moving with sciatica?
Complete rest often slows recovery. Most people do better with guided movement and avoiding positions that repeatedly trigger symptoms.
When should I seek urgent care for sciatica?
Severe or progressive weakness, saddle numbness, or bowel/bladder changes require urgent medical evaluation.
