At Connection Chiropractic in Lake Nona, Orlando, we recognize the disruptive impact that sciatica can have on your daily life. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back, through the hips and buttocks, and down each leg. Our chiropractors specialize in holistic care and functional wellness, providing tailored solutions for effective relief from sciatic pain.
Understanding Sciatica:
Sciatica is often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling sensations along its pathway. Common aspects of sciatica include:
1. Lower Back Pain: Discomfort or pain in the lower back that may extend down the buttocks and the back of one or both legs.
2. Leg Pain and Tingling: Sharp or shooting pain, as well as sensations of tingling or numbness, along the sciatic nerve.
3. Muscle Weakness: Weakness in the affected leg, making it challenging to stand, walk, or engage in regular activities.
4. Pain Aggravated by Certain Movements: Sciatic pain can be exacerbated by activities like prolonged sitting, bending, or lifting.

Our approach to treating sciatica at Connection Chiropractic is centered on addressing the underlying causes of nerve compression and promoting overall spinal health. We offer:
