Sciatica can cause sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back down the leg. In this episode, we explore what sciatica is, how irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve can lead to pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness, and what factors may contribute to these symptoms.
We also discuss practical strategies that may help manage sciatic discomfort, including gentle stretching, heat or ice therapy, taking breaks from prolonged sitting, and strengthening the core. Learn how chiropractic care may help address spinal function, muscle imbalances, and posture as part of an approach to managing sciatic pain.
