SCIATICA

Sciatica Relief in Union, NJ Through Chiropractic Care

Sciatica can cause sharp, burning, or radiating pain from the lower back into the hips, legs, or feet. Chiropractic care provides a natural, non-invasive solution that focuses on relieving nerve pressure, restoring mobility, and improving function.

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.
