Back Pain and Sciatica
Back pain is one of the most common concerns that bring people to the chiropractor.
It can range from dull and ache-like to extremely sharp and painful, affecting an individual’s ability to work, move and rest. Since the spine and its surrounding structures forms the foundation of the body’s overall posture and movement, even minor disturbances can lead to dysfunction.
Dysfunction=Pain
Common Causes of Back Pain:
Back pain is sometimes largely linked to nerve pain, commonly the sciatic nerve.
The sciatic nerve is formed from the lower nerves of spinal cord. It travels through the lower back area, through the buttocks, down the upper thigh and down into the leg region. When it becomes irritated, it can produce pain and/or sensation that it may feel slightly different to usual back pain. This is known as “sciatica” and has also become an increasingly growing concern in the chiropractor’s office.
Sciatica may present differently depending on where the nerve irritation is being affected.
Common sensations:
​
-
A sharp, shooting or burning pain that radiates from the lower back and into the buttocks, thigh or leg.
-
Numbness, tingling or ‘pins and needles’
-
Sensation of weakness or heaviness affecting one/both legs.
How can a Chiropractor help my Back Pain or Sciatica?
Chiropractors are trained professionals that assess the spine, muscles, joints and nervous system and detect areas of dysfunction that may be contributing to back pain or sciatica.
​
Following a thorough examination, a chiropractor will be able to determine where your back pain may be coming from and which treatment plan will be best suitable in determining the best outcomes.
