Sciatica Pain

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — a long nerve that runs from your lower back through your buttock, hip and leg — becomes compressed. It can also occur when the soft tissues around the lower spine becomes inflamed, causing persistent pain that may run the entire length of the leg. In most cases, the discomfort occurs only on one side of the body. In addition, some cases can cause numbness or tingling.

Since sciatica is the result of nerve compression, the condition is relieved when the source of compression is treated. Compression can happen anytime when the spine becomes misaligned, often as the result of strenuous physical activity or prolonged periods of standing or sitting. At Xtreme Spine & Joint, we use the latest techniques to gently readjust and realign your spine to restore its natural position so compression is relieved.

By performing regular adjustments, Dr. Robert Gordon uses both traditional chiropractic techniques and newer rigorously tested approaches based on emerging medical advances in our understanding of good spine health to achieve an overall program of care to keep you as healthy as possible. Regular manipulation also helps your spine stay properly aligned to avoid a recurrence of a sciatic condition.
