Sciatica Pain Relief Treatment in Belmont and Medowie
At BodyFix Chiropractic, we know how debilitating sciatica can be. Sciatica is a symptom that manifests as a burning pain that travels from your lower back down one leg and into your foot, often caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Identifying the underlying cause of your sciatica is crucial for effective and lasting pain relief. I, Dr. Adam Wild, along with my dedicated team, am here to help you diagnose and treat the root cause of your pain.
What Causes Sciatica Leg Pain?
Sciatica typically affects the lower back, buttocks, leg, and foot. During your consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination and discuss your symptoms to determine if any of the following conditions are contributing to your pain:
Bulging or Herniated Disc
Injury or poor posture can lead to a disc bulging or herniating, which may pinch the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates down the leg.
Subluxations
Misalignment of lumbar vertebrae can compress the sciatic nerve, exacerbating pain and discomfort.
Spondylolisthesis
This condition occurs when a vertebra slips out of place, potentially leading to nerve compression and sciatica symptoms.
Spinal Stenosis
Age-related changes or other medical conditions can narrow the spinal canal, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Piriformis Syndrome
This occurs when the piriformis muscle spasms and irritates the nearby sciatic nerve, leading to pain.
