What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica (also called sciatic neuralgia) is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower spine, through the buttocks, and down the legs into the feet.

When this nerve is compressed (often due to disc issues or misalignments in the low back), it can cause:

• Sharp, burning, or shooting pain
• Numbness or tingling down the leg
• Weakness in the leg or foot
• Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements

For many, sciatic pain comes and goes — but without proper care, it often returns stronger and more frequent over time.

What Causes Sciatica in Saint Johns FL?

Sciatica can be triggered by a variety of structural issues in the lower spine, including:

• Disc bulges or herniations
• Spinal misalignments (subluxations)
• Poor posture or repetitive strain
• Pregnancy-related changes
• Trauma or injury

Many patients say their pain started after something simple — like bending to pick something up — but the reality is that the spinal imbalance often developed over months or years before that moment.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica

At Balance Chiropractic Center, Inc., we take a gentle and precise approach to resolving the underlying cause of your sciatic pain.

Here’s what you can expect:

1. A thorough assessment to understand your spine, nerves, posture, and daily habits
2. Safe, effective adjustments to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and restore healthy alignment
3. Personalized care to help your body heal at its own pace
4. Supportive guidance for movement, posture, and stretches to help you stay well between visits
5. Low Level Laser Therapy (Cold Laser) can also be used to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasms by targeting trigger points and promoting natural healing

Some patients feel better quickly, while others require a series of visits to achieve long-term relief — it all depends on how long the problem has been developing and the severity of the nerve involvement.

The good news? It usually takes less time to correct the issue than it took to create it.
