Sciatica Treatment at ChiroMend Natural Health Center
Understanding Sciatica: Causes, Symptoms & Impact
Sciatica is a painful condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—is compressed or irritated. Originating in the lower back and running through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg, the sciatic nerve can become inflamed from spinal misalignment, disc herniation, or muscular tension. At ChiroMend Natural Health Center in Glenview, IL, we specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of sciatic pain to restore comfort and function.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp, shooting pain down one or both legs
- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the buttocks, legs, or feet
- Muscle weakness or difficulty standing and walking
- Worsening pain after sitting or standing for long periods
- Reduced flexibility or range of motion in the lower back
Frequent causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal misalignment or subluxation
- Degenerative disc or joint changes
- Muscle tension in the gluteal or piriformis muscles
- Postural imbalances or trauma to the lower back
