What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated. This large nerve travels from the lower back through the hips and down the legs, which is why sciatica often causes pain along this entire pathway.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica

Patients with sciatica may experience:

  • Radiating or shooting leg pain
    • Numbness or tingling sensations
    • Burning or electric-like pain
    • Weakness in the legs or feet
    • Hip or lower back discomfort
    • Pain that worsens when sitting or bending

Symptoms can range from mild and intermittent to sharp and debilitating.

What Causes Sciatica?

Common contributors include:

  • Disc injuries or herniation
  • Lumbar misalignment
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Piriformis syndrome
  • Pelvic imbalance
  • Poor biomechanics or posture
  • Occupational strain
  • Sports or movement injuries


Chiropractic care works to address the structural and mechanical factors behind nerve irritation.

Encontré al Dr. Zuniga porque mi anterior quiropráctico se retiró, después de una larga búsqueda me encontré con el Dr. Zuniga. Durante mi primera visita estuvo muy atento y no me apresuró y escuchó todo lo que dije, tomó radiografías en casa, lo cual es una ventaja y esbozó un plan de cuidado para mí. Ahora, varias semanas después, ya no estoy encorvado y en el camino hacia una recuperación completa. El personal de la oficina también es genial, son súper atentos y siempre preguntan si hay algo que se necesite y siempre te revisan durante la terapia. He encontrado a mi nuevo quiropráctico. I found Dr. Zuniga because my previous chiropractor retired, after a long search I came across Dr. Zuniga. During my first visit he was very attentive and didn't rush me and listened to everything I said, took X-rays in house which is a plus and outlined a care plan for me. Now several weeks later, I am no longer hunched over and on the path to a full recovery. The office staff is also great, they are super attentive and always ask if there is anything that is needed and always checking up on you during the therapy. I have found my new forever chiropractor.

The staff was so welcoming. The regular patients walked in so happy and joyful. Everyone was treated like family. The office had a beautiful clean sent that made you feel right at home. The Dr was welcomed me with such delight along with a warm smile. Dr. Zuniga took his studies seriously. He explained everything in terms anyone could understand and he took his time to ensure you understand the direction he wants to take with your personal treatment. I have not been to a professional in a long time where I felt they actually cared about me and my wellbeing. I am excited about my new relationship with this chiropractic family. I feel in my soul I made a right decision and look forward to feeling better soon.
