Sciatica

Patients who are experiencing moderate or severe pain in their lower back or upper buttocks area are often suffering from sciatica pain. The pain stems from the sciatic nerve, which runs along the lower back to the buttocks and down each leg. Most of our patients only experience sciatic pain on one side or the other, though some have pain on both sides. Aside from pain relief medication, chiropractic and herbal care here at TLC Holistic Wellness is one of the best ways to treat this condition.
Some common symptoms of sciatica include pain in the back, buttocks, or thigh, burning or tingling down the leg, constant pain or shooting pain, and weakness or numbness of one leg. Because sciatica is caused by irritation of the spine and nerves, chiropractic treatments are an excellent option for our patients.

We offer adjustments and manipulations of the spine, therapeutic massage and herbal remedies for our patients who wish to get help for their sciatica. Dr. Carol Ann Fischer also suggests the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for reducing the pain and discomfort of sciatica pain.
