Chiropractic Care for Sciatica in Flower Mound, TX
Gentle care for pain that runs from the back down the leg
Sciatica can feel like an electric zing or deep ache that starts in the low back or buttock and follows a path down the leg. Palmercare Chiropractic Flower Mound helps patients identify what may be irritating the sciatic nerve and offers conservative care led by Dr. Madison Molitor.
Understanding Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from the lower back through the buttock and down each leg. When it is compressed or irritated, often by a disc, a tight muscle or joint changes, pain and tingling can follow its path.
The Mayo Clinic reviews symptoms, causes and risk factors in its overview of sciatica. Seek immediate care for sudden severe pain, leg weakness or loss of bladder or bowel control.
Sciatica often involves:
- Pain from the buttock down the back of the leg
- Tingling, burning or numbness in the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens with sitting, coughing or sneezing
- Weakness in the leg or foot
- Usually one side of the body
