Sciatica is a term used to describe pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve, typically from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. It may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness, and can make it difficult to sit, stand, walk, sleep, or carry out everyday activities.
Sciatic symptoms can occur for a number of reasons, including irritation or compression of the nerves in the lower back or other musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine and surrounding tissues. A thorough assessment is important to identify the factors contributing to your symptoms and determine the most appropriate course of care.
At Logan Chiropractic & Wellness, Dr Tash Logan will assess your spine, pelvis, posture, movement, and surrounding muscles to better understand the cause of your sciatic symptoms. Treatment is tailored to your individual needs and may include gentle chiropractic adjustments where appropriate, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and advice on posture, movement, and activity modification.
The aim of care is to help improve movement, support spinal function, and assist you in managing your symptoms so you can return to your normal daily activities as comfortably as possible. If your assessment indicates that further investigation or specialist care is needed, Dr Tash Logan can advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
