Relief from Sciatic Pain and Numbness

Stop the Shooting Pain of Sciatica

Sciatica is characterized by a sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back, through the buttock, and down the back of the leg, sometimes accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness. This pain is caused by the compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. At Dehaven Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on relieving the pressure on this nerve to provide lasting relief.

What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?

The sciatic nerve can become compressed for several reasons, including:

  • Herniated or Bulging Disc: This is the most common cause, where a spinal disc presses directly on the nerve root.
  • Spinal Misalignment: Vertebrae in the lower back that are out of place can put pressure on the sciatic nerve.
  • Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle, located in the buttock, can spasm and irritate the nearby sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal can impinge on the nerve.

How Chiropractic Care Can End Your Sciatic Pain:

Our primary goal is to address the underlying cause of the nerve compression. Dr. DeHaven’s “RESULT oriented” approach is gentle, safe, and highly effective for treating sciatica:

  • Precise Spinal Adjustments: By carefully adjusting the lumbar spine and pelvis, we can take the pressure off the sciatic nerve, providing immediate and long-term relief.
  • Decompression Techniques: Specific techniques may be used to gently open up the spaces where the nerves exit the spine.
  • Therapeutic Exercises: We will recommend specific stretches and exercises to help stabilize your spine and prevent future episodes of sciatica.
