The Skinny on Sciatica

Sciatica can affect people in a variety of ways, but no matter how the pain presents, it can really cramp your style. Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling anywhere from the lower back through the buttocks all the way down the leg. Again, since sciatica refers to a series of symptoms and not a disorder, it’s important to diagnose the underlying cause. If your sciatica pain falls outside the bounds of your chiropractor’s expertise, they should be able to point you in the direction of a provider who can help.
