Sciatica and Lower Limb Pain

By Dr. Alan Rosenthal

The largest and longest nerve in the body is the sciatic nerve. When the sciatic nerve becomes inflamed, it is know as a sciatica. Sciatica sufferers will most commonly have severe pain along the pathway of the sciatic nerve, into the back of the legs, thigh, calf and even into ankle, foot and toes.

What Is Sciatica?

Sometimes sciatic pain can be felt in the hips, the front or sides of a leg, or even in both legs. The types of sensations felt vary from pain, tingling, burning, pins and needles, prickling, tenderness, or a crawling sensation. Regardless, sciatica pain can be disabling. Any posture, or position, including sitting, standing, walking, turning, bending, or even sleeping may be difficult to impossible.

Chiropractic and Sciatica

Chiropractic wellness care has proven to have extremely positive results for millions of people with sciatica. Spinal adjustments have corrected millions of dysfunctional spines and alleviated the suffering of sciatica as well as enable patients to maintain overall health and wellness. Many sciatica sufferers have found Chiropractic wellness care to be superior over drugs, surgery and traction.

Since our bodies are designed to not feel everything that goes on inside of us, it is very common to have other nerve problems in internal organs long before we experience pain. The same nerves that form the sciatic nerve also control function to areas like the bladder, intestines and reproductive regions. Chiropractic wellness care patients often mention that these areas function better after Chiropractic adjustments.
