Shooting pain down the leg, numbness, or tingling that makes it difficult to sit, stand, or move are classic signs of sciatica. This painful condition can interfere with your work, sleep, and everyday activities. For decades, Rumph Chiropractic Clinic has helped people across the community find natural, lasting relief from sciatica without medication or surgery.
Understanding Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the body’s longest nerve, extending from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and legs. When this nerve becomes irritated or compressed—often due to spinal misalignment, disc issues, or muscle tightness—it can cause pain, burning, or weakness that radiates down one side of the body.
Common Causes We Address
- Herniated or Bulging Discs: Spinal discs pressing on the sciatic nerve can cause sharp or radiating pain.
- Spinal Misalignment: Shifts in spinal alignment may compress or irritate the nerve roots.
- Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness in the piriformis muscle can trap or pinch the sciatic nerve.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Natural wear over time can narrow spinal spaces, creating nerve pressure.
- Poor Posture and Sedentary Habits: Long hours of sitting or slouching can increase stress on the lower spine.
- Injury or Overuse: Sudden strain or repetitive movements can inflame tissues surrounding the sciatic nerve.
Our Comprehensive Plan for Sciatica Recovery
Every case of sciatica is unique, which is why care begins with a detailed evaluation to pinpoint the exact source of nerve irritation. Through gentle adjustments, guided exercises, and lifestyle strategies, your body can return to a state of strength and stability.
- Gentle Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment to the spine, reducing irritation around the sciatic nerve. Many patients notice improved comfort, mobility, and flexibility as pressure eases and circulation improves.
- Targeted Exercise and Mobility Training: Custom movement plans strengthen the core, support the lower back, and increase flexibility to prevent future flare-ups.
- Posture and Movement Coaching: Guidance on sitting, standing, and lifting techniques helps relieve strain on the lower back and supports long-term healing.
- Lifestyle and Core Wellness Support: Balanced nutrition, hydration, and stress reduction all play a role in maintaining spinal health and preventing recurring sciatic pain.
