Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
Sciatica is not a condition in itself, but a symptom of an underlying issue that is compressing or irritating the sciatic nerve. Common causes include:
Herniated or Bulging Discs
Discs in the lumbar spine can slip out of place and press on the nerve.
Spinal Misalignments (Subluxations)
Vertebrae that are out of alignment can irritate nearby nerves.
Piriformis Syndrome
The piriformis muscle in the buttock may spasm and compress the sciatic nerve.
Degenerative Disc Disease or Spinal Stenosis
Age-related spinal changes can narrow the space for nerves.
Injury or Trauma
Car accidents, falls, or sports injuries may trigger sciatic symptoms.
At Wellness Project Chiropractic in Marina del Rey, we specialize in identifying the root cause of your sciatica and providing natural, non-invasive treatment options. Our chiropractic approach may include:
- Gentle Spinal Adjustments: Realign the vertebrae to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and restore proper movement.
- Soft Tissue Therapy: Reduce inflammation, release muscle tension, and improve circulation.
- Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Support healing and prevent future flare-ups.
- Postural and Lifestyle Coaching: Address movement patterns, ergonomics, and daily habits that contribute to sciatic pain.
