Sciatica

Sciatica usually begins as acute pain in the lower back and then extends down the back of the legs.  Symptomatology of sciatica varies from sharp, to dull, to cramp-like pain in one or more areas in the buttock, hamstring, calf, or foot. 

The most common cause of sciatica is irritation of the nerves that exit from the lower spine/tailbone area and come together to form the sciatic nerve.  The chiropractors at Schonhard Chiropractic are very knowledgeable in the different causes of sciatica and the correct chiropractic techniques to decrease this inflammation to the sciatic nerve.
