Sciatica
That sharp, shooting leg pain has a cause. We calm the irritated nerve so you can sit, stand and walk in comfort.
Calm the nerve and move freely again
Sciatica is that sharp, shooting, or burning pain that runs from your lower back into your hip and down your leg. It happens when the sciatic nerve gets pinched or irritated. As your Toronto chiropractor, we find what is pressing on the nerve and gently take that pressure away so the pain can settle.
What causes sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. When a disc, joint, or tight muscle in your lower back or hip presses on it, you feel pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg.
Pain pills may dull the feeling, but they do not take the pressure off the nerve. We focus on the real cause so you get relief that lasts.
How we relieve sciatic pain
We use gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustments to ease the lower back and hips and take pressure off the sciatic nerve. As the nerve calms down, the leg pain often eases too.
We also guide you through simple stretches and movements that keep the nerve happy. Many patients sit, stand, and sleep more comfortably within a few visits.
