Back Pain & Sciatica
Back Pain & Sciatica
Sciatica is a type of pain that occurs when a nerve in the lower back becomes compressed or irritated. This can be caused by conditions like a herniated disc, bone spurs, or spinal stenosis, which narrows the spinal canal and puts pressure on the nerves. When the sciatic nerve is affected, it can cause pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg, along with symptoms like tingling, numbness, or weakness.
Certain activities can exacerbate sciatica, such as sitting for extended periods, or sudden movements like coughing or sneezing. If you’re dealing with sciatica, scheduling an appointment with Dr. Peterson can help relieve your pain and improve your mobility—often without the need for surgery.
Causes of Sciatica
Several factors can contribute to the development of sciatica, including:
- Normal aging
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Jobs that involve frequent bending, lifting, or sitting
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Injury or trauma, such as sports-related injuries
Fortunately, surgery is not always necessary to relieve the pain of sciatica. Chiropractic care at Celtic Chiropractic & Injury Clinic can be highly effective in treating lower back pain and sciatica, especially in cases caused by injuries from sports like football, hockey, or other contact activities. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the vertebrae, easing pressure on the sciatic nerve and improving mobility and comfort.
