Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica isn't a medical condition itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem involving compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve - the longest and thickest nerve in your body. This compression causes inflammation, pain, and often some numbness in the affected leg.
- Lumbar Herniated Disc - The most common cause where a disc bulges and presses on the sciatic nerve root
- Piriformis Syndrome - When the piriformis muscle in the buttocks spasms and compresses the sciatic nerve
- Spinal Stenosis - Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves
- Spondylolisthesis - When one vertebra slips forward over another, pinching the nerve
- Degenerative Disc Disease - Age-related breakdown of discs that can lead to nerve compression
Proper diagnosis is crucial since treatment varies depending on the underlying cause of your sciatic nerve compression.
Recognizing Sciatica Symptoms
Sciatica symptoms can vary from mild annoyance to severe, debilitating pain
Shooting Leg Pain
Electric shock-like pain that radiates from lower back through buttock and down the back of one leg, often following nerve pathway.
Burning & Tingling
Burning sensation, pins and needles, or numbness anywhere along the sciatic nerve pathway from lower back to foot.
Leg Weakness
Difficulty moving the affected leg or foot, feeling of heaviness, or trouble standing up from seated position.
Worsening with Sitting
Pain typically intensifies when sitting for prolonged periods, while standing or walking may provide some relief.
Our Sciatica Treatment Approach
Targeted care to relieve nerve compression and restore normal function
Diagnostic Assessment
Nerve Tension Tests
Specific orthopedic tests like Straight Leg Raise and Slump Test to reproduce sciatic symptoms and identify compression location.
Neurological Evaluation
Comprehensive testing of reflexes, muscle strength, and sensation in legs to assess nerve damage severity.
Movement Analysis
Assessment of walking pattern, posture, and specific movements that trigger or relieve sciatic pain.
Our Treatment Methods
Spinal Decompression
Gentle traction to create space between vertebrae, relieving pressure on compressed sciatic nerve roots.
Flexion-Distraction
Specialized chiropractic technique using rhythmic pumping motion to mobilize discs and reduce nerve compression.
Piriformis Release
Targeted soft tissue therapy to relax the piriformis muscle when it's compressing the sciatic nerve.
Nerve Gliding Exercises
Specific movements to improve nerve mobility and reduce adhesions along the sciatic nerve pathway.
Core Stabilization
Strengthening exercises for deep core muscles to support the spine and prevent future nerve compression.
Postural Rehabilitation
Correction of sitting and standing postures that contribute to nerve compression and sciatic pain.
Patient Success Story
Real results from our sciatica treatment
"I suffered from excruciating sciatica pain for 6 months that shot down my right leg. I couldn't sit for more than 10 minutes and sleeping was impossible. After just 3 weeks of treatment at Spine-X, the shooting pain was completely gone. Dr. Zinzala's combination of spinal adjustments, nerve gliding exercises, and posture correction gave me my life back. I can now sit through entire movies and sleep through the night pain-free."
