If you’ve ever stood up and been met with searing pain that travels down your leg, you know how disruptive sciatica can be. At D'Angiolillo Chiropractic Center in Somerset, NJ, we’ve helped countless patients in Somerset NJ find real relief from sciatic nerve pain—without relying on medication or surgery.
Sciatica is not a condition but a symptom, usually caused by nerve irritation or compression somewhere along the sciatic nerve’s path. Let’s break it down—and explore how chiropractic can help you heal naturally.
The Sciatic Nerve: Why It Hurts
Your sciatic nerve is the largest in the body, running from your lower back through your hips and down each leg. When pressure is applied to this nerve—often due to spinal misalignment, disc issues, or inflammation—you can experience pain, numbness, or weakness, usually on one side of the body.
Common Sciatica Symptoms
- Shooting pain down the leg
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
- Burning or deep aching
- Numbness or muscle weakness in the leg or foot
Symptoms may worsen with sitting, bending, or sudden movements like sneezing or coughing.
Getting to the Root Cause
At D'Angiolillo Chiropractic Center, we begin with a thorough consultation and exam to evaluate nerve function, posture, reflexes, and spinal alignment. If necessary, we may refer for imaging to rule out more complex issues. Our goal is to pinpoint the exact source of nerve irritation—not just mask the pain.
