The Condition

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition involving irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often causing sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back into the hip, buttock, and leg. Common contributing factors may include herniated or bulging discs, muscle tension, spinal dysfunction, pelvic imbalance, or nerve irritation affecting the lower back and surrounding structures. Symptoms may also include numbness, tingling, weakness, burning sensations, and reduced mobility that can interfere with walking, exercise, sleep, and daily activities. If you're experiencing persistent lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or sciatica symptoms, early evaluation and personalized chiropractic care at Flintridge Family Chiropractic may help support nerve function, improve mobility, reduce nerve irritation, and help you return to daily activity with greater comfort and confidence.
