Sciatica Relief

Sciatica Pain Relief from our Creve Coeur Chiropractor

Although sciatica is common, many people have a misconception about this painful condition.  It is a symptom of a health condition rather than a distinct medical diagnosis.  Patients who visit Delta Spinal Care in Creve Coeur are able to experience sciatica pain relief thanks to completely natural chiropractic treatments.

Woman suffering from back pain What is Sciatica?

Sciatica most often occurs in patients between 40 and 50.  It develops when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed near the point where it originates. This nerve is the largest in the body.  It consists of multiple nerve roots that extend from the lower spine and then join. 

The most common factors responsible for irritation or compression are degenerative disc disease, lumbar spinal stenosis, a lumbar herniated disc, piriformis syndrome, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and isthmic spondylolisthesis.  Less-common potential reasons that cause patients to seek Creve Coeur sciatica pain relief include pregnancy, muscle strain, a spinal tumor, scar tissue, an infection, a fracture, and ankylosing spondylitis.

Symptoms of Sciatica

While sciatica is occasionally an irritating disorder for some, it is severe to the point of debilitating for others.  Among patients who seek sciatica treatment, these are the most common symptoms:

  • Pain that is constant and typically on just one side of the buttock or leg
  • Discomfort starting in the buttock or lower back, following the sciatic nerve all the way to the foot
  • Lower level of pain when walking or lying down, increasing when seated or standing
  • Sharp vs. dull pain
  • Prickling or pins-and-needles sensations
  • Numbness or weakness when trying to move a foot or a leg
  • Pain so severe that it is difficult to walk or stand
  • Discomfort in the toes
  • Lower back pain less intense than leg pain
