Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often due to a disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or changes in the way the lower back and pelvis move. Symptoms may include pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg, along with numbness, tingling, or weakness.

 

Since there are several conditions can cause similar symptoms, treatment begins with a detailed examination to identify the likely source. Based on your findings, care may include muscle release, flexion-traction therapy, gentle spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercise, or referral for imaging or specialized care when appropriate.
