Drug-Free Relief for Sciatic Nerve Pain in Royal Oak
Sciatica can be debilitating—that shooting pain down your leg that makes it hard to sit, stand, walk, or sleep. At Van Every Family Chiropractic Center, we’ve helped hundreds of patients find lasting relief from sciatica without drugs or surgery, using gentle techniques that address the root cause of your pain.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks, then down each leg. Sciatica typically affects only one side of your body.
Sciatica Symptoms
- Shooting Pain
- Burning Sensation
- Numbness
- Leg Weakness
- Tingling
- Pain When Sitting
Common Causes of Sciatica
- Herniated Disc: A bulging or ruptured disc in the lower spine pressing on the sciatic nerve—the most common cause.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves, more common with age.
- Subluxation: Misalignment of vertebrae that irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve roots.
- Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle in the buttock spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve.
