Sciatica is often associated with irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve and can be influenced by spinal joint function, muscle tension, posture, and movement patterns.

Understanding Sciatica

​

Sciatica is not a diagnosis itself, but rather a term used to describe symptoms related to irritation of the sciatic nerve. Symptoms may vary in intensity and presentation and can include:

​

• Pain that radiates from the lower back into the leg

• Tingling, numbness, or burning sensations

• Discomfort that worsens with sitting or certain movements

• Reduced mobility or stiffness in the lower back or hips

 

Because sciatica can have multiple underlying causes, proper assessment is important to understand what may be contributing to symptoms.

​

How Chiropractic Care May Help Sciatica

​

Chiropractic care for sciatica focuses on improving joint movement and reducing mechanical stress that may be affecting the nerve. For patients seeking sciatica care in Ottawa, treatment may help by:

​

• Improving mobility of the lower spine and pelvis

• Reducing joint restriction and muscle tension

• Supporting healthier movement patterns

• Helping improve comfort during daily activities

 

Care is individualised and based on clinical findings, patient comfort, and functional goals.
