Do You Have Pain Shooting Through The Back of Your Legs?

If you feel pain radiating through your hips, thighs, calves or feet it can impact every aspect of your life. Sitting, standing or staying in one position for long periods of time can become an overwhelming challenge.

It’s a common occurrence, but you don’t have to live that way.

You may have a condition known as sciatica.  

Sciatica is a debilitating condition that causes shooting pain down the back of the leg. The characteristics of sciatica differ from person to person, ranging from sharp pain, to dull pain, or numbing, and even burning sensations.

It is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve root arising from the lower part of your spine near the belt-line or just above it. This is also the reason many sciatica sufferers have concurrent bouts of low back pain. When someone is experiencing sciatica the problems and symptoms are generally progressive in nature, meaning it may start as typical low back pain, but continue to spread into the buttocks, hips, back of the legs, and eventually below the knees, into the calves and feet. The time to start addressing this issue is immediate.

The cause, just like with many other health concerns, is a subluxation, or misalignment within the spine. There is a physical compression of the nerve root as it exits the spine. With proper evaluation of your symptoms, we pinpoint the problem area to focus our care on correcting your specific issue.
