When you have sciatica, you’ll have low back pain that may extend into your buttocks, and/or travel down the back of your leg. Sometimes the pain may be felt all the way into your foot.
One of the causes of sciatica is disc herniation, which should always be treated with chiropractic care. Bulging discs may be pressing or impinging the sciatic nerve, causing your present symptoms. If Depew chiropractor Dr. Palmer detects this is the case, he will use gentle chiropractic techniques applied to the lumbar spine to ease pressure on the irritated sciatic nerve and restore proper blood and nutrients to the affected spinal disc.
