Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body, starting from the lower back and running down each leg into the feet. This nerve provides important motor and sensory information to and from the legs. When this nerve becomes inflamed it is known as a condition called sciatica that can cause intense pain. When there is a misalignment in the lower spine (vertebral subluxation), it causes disc and nerve pressure. A chiropractic adjustment will help remove pressure from your sciatic nerve, allowing your body to balance and heal. Chiropractic care at Lancaster Chiropractic Life Center, is specific to each individual’s needs. Dr. Tai A. Scelfo, will design a chiropractic care plan to ensure your body gets the best results.
