Are you experiencing sharp, shooting or hot pain down the back of your leg? You may be suffering from Sciatica. At Cowbridge Chiropractic Clinic, we provide specialised care to offer you relief from this often debilitating condition.
Sciatica
Sciatica is not a condition itself, but more a symptom of an underlying problem. It occurs when the sciatic nerve running from your lower back, through the buttocks, and down the back of the leg, becomes compressed or irritated.
Common causes include:
-
Herniated or bulging discs in the lower spine
-
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
-
Piriformis syndrome
-
Pregnancy
-
Degenerative Disc Disease
Our experienced chiropractors are skilled in identifying the root cause of your sciatica and developing an appropriate treatment plan.
