Sciatica Treatment

Quality Care for Sciatic Nerve Problems

Your sciatic nerve is a large nerve that begins in your lower back and extends down the back of both legs. When something irritates that nerve, the condition is called "sciatica." Because the sciatic nerve sends signals through the lower half of your body, sciatica can cause a variety of pains and discomforts.

• Lower back pain
• Hip pain
• Constant pain in one or both buttocks
• Weakness and numbness
• Pain so great that you are unable to stand
• Pain in one or both feet and/or your toes

The pain may be constant or it may be infrequent. In many patients, sciatica affects only one side of the body, extending all the way down the back of the thigh and into the lower leg. Depending on the cause sciatica may clear up on its own, or it may get worse. For an accurate diagnosis, come to Full Motion Wellness and Rehab.
