Named after the sciatic nerve, sciatica is known for causing numbness and weakness in the hip, buttocks, leg, calf, and foot. The sciatic nerve is longest and largest nerve in your entire body. It runs from an area in your spine, near your pelvis, and down each leg. Typically, it can be as large your thumb. If an area of the large sciatic nerve is pinched, irritated, or swollen, you will develop sciatica. Frequently, patients develop sciatica when the lower spine has become misaligned, resulting in a pinched sciatic nerve.
Part of sciatica treatment at Bell Family Chiropractic is having a highly trained chiropractic examine and pinpoint the exact source of nerve damage.
