Sciatica comes
from the compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle.
Pain, tingling or numbness starts in the buttock to back of legs and shin.
Pain is more severe when sitting or running.
Stretches and exercise rarely help.
Usually, the L5 (5th lumbar) nerve is
being irritated, causing the piriformis muscle to spasm around the sciatic
nerve
Treatment:
Chiropractic care relieves pressure on the L5 nerves, and has been shown
to relieve the pain and numbness associated with Sciatica.
