• Sciatica is a pain that originated in the lower
  back or buttock, and it travels into one or both
  legs.
• The intensity and frequency of it range from
  minimal to moderate or severe. Also, the pain is
  occasional, intermittent, frequent, or constant.
• Doctors describe sciatic pain as an achy and dull
  pain like a toothache. Some people feel an
  electric shock like shooting pain or a pins and
  needles sensation.
• Burning, tingling, or numbness are also symptoms
  of Sciatica.  Though it is referred to as a
  disorder, it is a symptom of disease actually.

What causes Sciatica?

• The cause of Sciatica is due to the sciatic
  nerve compression. The prominent reasons are
  spinal disorders such as
• Misaligned vertebral bodies
• Slipped disc
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Spinal tumors
• Piriformis syndrome

• Non-spinal reasons like constipation or diabetes
• Professional hazards such as prolonged sitting
  jobs
• Since there are several reasons behind
  Sciatica, it is critically important to diagnose
  it thoroughly. Not just physical and neurological
  diagnostic tests, but having a thoughtful review
  of the medical history of the patient is also
  essential.

Chiropractic treatment for Sciatica

1. A chiropractor conducts necessary diagnostic
   tests first. It may include X-Ray examination, CT
   Scan, or MRI. By these tests, he can detect
   possible contraindications to chiropractic
   therapy and spinal adjustment.
2. The chiropractic treatment helps the bodys
   potential so that it can heal itself. To achieve
   that, the chiropractor uses scientific principles
   to restrict spinal movements that trigger pain.
3. Chiropractic treatment is a non-invasive and
   drug-free treatment. The type of therapy a
   chiropractor selects depends on the condition of
   the patient.
