3. Chiropractic Care for Sciatica: 6 Symptoms to Look For

Sciatica pain can range from slightly annoying to downright unbearable.

If you work a physically intensive job or spend most of your day sitting, this can increase your risk of developing sciatica.

Studies estimate that anywhere from 13 to 40% of the population will suffer sciatica at some point in their life. The range is so wide because in many cases, sciatica often goes unreported or resolves itself with at-home stretching.

Unfortunately, if you don’t properly treat your sciatica, it can persist indefinitely. Chiropractic care for sciatica offers a non-invasive, affordable, and gentle solution.

The Top 6 Symptoms of Sciatica

In some cases, sciatic pain is obvious. In other cases, it may go somewhat unnoticed. Keep an eye out for these symptoms:

1. A shooting electric-like pain that radiates from the buttock down through the thigh

2. Lower back pain – often on one side

3. Pain in your buttock or leg that worsens when sitting

4. Burning or tingling in one leg

5. Weakness or numbness in one leg

6. Consistent sharp pain in one side of your buttock
