What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to nerve pain along the pathway of the sciatic nerve, the longest and thickest nerve in the human body. Sciatica can cause mild to severe pain, tingling and numbness from the buttocks and lower back, all the way down to the feet and toes. For the majority of cases, sciatica is caused by a twisting of the pelvis and lumbar spine or bulging and herniated discs.

How Chiropractic Treatment Alleviates Sciatica and Lower Back Pain
Chiropractic care for sciatica and lower back pain includes gentle, non-invasive adjustments to treat misalignments along the spine. This reduces pain and inflammation by releasing the restricted or pinched nerve. To strengthen and stabilize the spine, Dr. Norris will also recommend spinal exercises and stretches that enhance mobility and strengthen the core and back muscles. Treatment plans often include massage therapy to promote deep muscle relaxation, myofascial tissue repair and stress relief.
New patient visits start with an exam and x-rays when necessary.

Sciatica Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes, chiropractic care for sciatica combines gentle, non-invasive adjustments with spinal exercises to strengthen and stabilize the spine and spinal stretches to enhance mobility. Massage therapy induces deep muscle relaxation and promotes stress relief.
Yes, spine adjustments release the restricted or pinched nerves which reduces inflammation and eases pain. During an adjustment, your joint capsules experience a transient stretch which is a non-invasive way of resetting the natural position of your spinal cord and nerves. This helps your nervous system function as intended.
Dr. Norris finds that most people who are suffering from spinal pain and stiffness are experiencing it because of micro-traumas and not major traumas or accidents. Micro-traumas are everyday activities such as sitting at a desk for long periods of time or always carrying a heavy bag on the same shoulder. The most common micro-trauma occurs from extensive cell-phone usage which leads to a condition often referred to as Text/Tech Neck.
We conduct a thorough patient interview to learn about your health history and then we supplement that with advanced spinal structural and functional x-ray analysis. Through Neuro-Structural Testing, we can determine what and where the problem is and then make a plan to correct the problem.
