Top 5 Common Symptoms of Sciatica

Your sciatic nerve is the largest in your body, and it travels down the buttocks and legs. Any compression of the nerve along the path can cause several uncomfortable symptoms. At Lakewood Ranch Chiropractic in Bradenton, Dr. Nichols treats sciatic nerve pain. Let’s look at some of the common symptoms of sciatica.

The Symptoms of Sciatica

  1. Numbness or a tingling sensation in your legs and feet that becomes more pronounced when you sit.
  2. Sharp pain that extends down your leg or foot. The pain is often described as a throbbing and burning sensation that doesn't go away.
  3. Pain in your lower back or butt. The pain can be sharp and create a warm or burning sensation.
  4. Leg weakness that results in difficulty lifting your foot and trouble walking.
  5. Pain that fluctuates at different times of the day or activity. For example, sciatica might be more severe when you first wake up in the morning or if you sit for too long.

What Causes Sciatica Pain?

Many things can lead to the development of sciatic nerve pain. The most common reason is compression of the sciatic nerve. Other sources of pain include a herniated disc, bone spurs, bulging discs, muscle spasms, and spinal stenosis. Our chiropractor will identify the cause of your condition and create a customized treatment plan. Our goal is to get you back to normal as quickly as possible through natural and effective treatment modalities. Best of all, chiropractic care does not rely on pain medication or invasive procedures like surgery to produce results.
