Sciatic Nerve Pain
Sciatic nerve pain begins in the lumbar spine. It then extends to the hip to the buttocks and most likely to shoot down one leg. It ranges from a bolt of pain to a dull, constant ache.
We will list the most common symptoms of sciatica. It is recommended to make an appointment with a chiropractor to get a diagnosis and find some relief.
Tingling Foot
One foot often tingles with sciatica. Many people describe it as feeling like it is asleep, except when caused by the sciatic nerve; it does not go away. Chiropractic care goes a long way and will help you relieve your pain.
Numbness in the Leg
Leg numbness is typical when it comes to sciatica. It might happen more often in people with bone spurs or discs that squeeze the sciatic nerve directly. Some people experience numbness in one leg while constant pain in the other.
Muscle Weakness
One of the pitfalls of muscle weakness is going into a sedentary lifestyle. But, with the help of a chiropractor, your active lifestyle does not need to go by the wayside because of sciatica.
Swelling
Inflammation and swelling are part of a series of symptoms related to sciatic nerve pain. It is also the root of the pain that comes from sciatica. A chiropractor approaches swelling with holistic, safe treatments without the use of addictive pain relievers.
