Sciatica isn’t just “back pain”—it’s irritation of the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain, burning, numbness, or tingling that travels from the low back into the hip, leg, or foot. Common triggers include disc stress, tight muscles, or joint restrictions that increase pressure on nerve pathways.
At 614 Chiropractic in Hilliard, we focus on improving joint motion, reducing irritation, and supporting healthier movement patterns. Many patients also benefit from targeted therapies like non-surgical spinal decompression when disc pressure is involved.
Quick tips for sciatica flare-ups:
✅ Avoid long sitting sessions—stand and walk every 30–45 minutes
✅ Use a pillow behind your low back while driving
✅ Try gentle walking (as tolerated) instead of bed rest
✅ Don’t stretch aggressively into sharp pain
If leg pain is disrupting sleep or daily life, don’t ignore it. Early care can make a big difference. Schedule a consultation at 614 Chiropractic to get a plan built around your body—not just your symptoms.
