What is sciatica?
Sciatica is a painful and often disabling condition that affects the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in your body. It typically causes sharp pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from your lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down one or both legs.
At Chiro Health Vision in Pymble, NSW, we provide personalised chiropractic treatment for sciatica to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, restore mobility, and help you get back to your daily life—without pain.
Symptoms of sciatica
Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, buttock, or leg
Numbness or tingling down the leg
Muscle weakness or difficulty standing/walking
Pain worsens with sitting or certain movements
Common Causes of sciatica
Sciatic pain is usually caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve in the lower spine. Common causes include:
Herniated discs pressing on nerve roots
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis
Muscle tightness (especially in the piriformis muscle)
Poor posture, long periods of sitting, or lifting injuries
How Chiropractic Care Can Help sciatica
Our chiropractic approach focuses on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and restoring natural spinal alignment. Treatment may include:
Gentle spinal adjustments
Postural correction and ergonomic advice
Stretching and strengthening exercises
Targeted care for disc or joint issues
Early treatment can prevent long-term nerve damage and recurring flare-ups
