Learn More About Sciatica
Struggling with Sciatica in Sioux Center?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the hips, legs, and feet. This condition occurs when spinal nerve roots—often in the lower lumbar spine—become irritated or compressed. At Sioux Center Chiropractic, we help patients relieve sciatica pain by treating the root cause of nerve irritation with personalized, non-invasive care.
Common Sciatica Symptoms
Sciatica is often diagnosed as lumbar radiculopathy, meaning one or more nerves exiting the lower spine are pinched or inflamed. This can cause symptoms such as:
-
Sharp, shooting pain down one leg
-
Numbness or tingling in the foot, calf, or thigh
-
Burning or aching sensations
-
Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or standing
Symptoms vary from mild discomfort to debilitating pain depending on the severity and which nerve is affected.
