Sciatica

The sciatic nerve goes from the base of the spine down into your foot, making it the longest nerve in the body. Because of its length, it is at more of a risk of injury than any other nerve in the body. Understanding what causes sciatica and how you can prevent those injuries and conditions will help you remain as pain-free as possible. By partnering with us at Bolz Chiropractic in Topeka, KS, you can stay free from sciatica pain.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica can be caused by auto accidents, slip and fall accidents, sports injuries, back injuries, and conditions related to the spine. Herniated discs and spinal stenosis can lead to pinched or damaged nerves that can be excruciatingly painful. Sciatic nerve pain can be long-lasting and may affect your overall quality of life. Treating the cause of the pain as soon as it appears is the best way to take control of the situation and allow your body to start mending as soon as possible.

Signs and Symptoms

There are several signs and symptoms associated with sciatica:

  • Pain that begins at the hip and radiates outward and down the leg.
  • As the sciatica continues to worsen, pain may continue to travel down the leg toward the foot, causing heel pain.
  • The pain can eventually lead to the sensation of pins and needles.
  • Numbness throughout the entire area is also possible.

Treatment Options

Because sciatica can begin at the base of the spine, treatment will often begin there as well. Chiropractic adjustments, ultrasound therapy, and laser therapy are just a few of the treatment options our chiropractor may choose to include in your treatment plan. In many cases, sciatica can be sufficiently treated with chiropractic care and other non-invasive treatment opinions, so surgery won't be needed.
