UNDERSTANDING SCIATICA
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a painful condition where irritation or pressure on the sciatic nerve causes pain that travels along the course of the sciatic nerve or from the lower back into the buttock and down the back or side of the leg. It is most commonly linked to a bulging or herniated disc in the lower spine.
Symptoms can include:
-
Sharp or burning pain in the leg or buttock
-
Tingling or numbness in the foot or toes
-
Muscle weakness in the affected leg
-
Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing, or sneezing
-
Sometimes nerve irritation in the spine can cause pain in another area of the body, known as referred pain. For example, similar symptoms in the neck and arm are referred to as brachialgia.
Massage Therapy for Sciatica Relief
If you’re struggling with sciatica or back pain, combining massage therapy with chiropractic care may provide the relief you need.
Massage therapy is an effective way to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation, which can ease pressure on the sciatic nerve. At Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic, our trusted in-house massage therapists have over 15 years of experience and work closely with our chiropractors to create a treatment plan tailored to your condition and your goals.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Our Sheffield chiropractors regularly assess and treat patients with sciatica, often with excellent results. Chiropractic adjustments can help restore spinal function, relieve pressure on the nerves, and improve mobility. Alongside this, we may suggest posture correction, gentle exercises, or lifestyle advice to support your recovery.
