Sciatica refers to pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body.
This nerve runs from the lower back down through the buttocks and into the legs. When compressed, it can cause numbness, tingling, shooting, or burning pain that radiates down the leg, and sometimes muscle weakness. It can be caused by:

Disc bulges
Inflammation
Pressure from joint misalignment in the lower spine

Oak Chiropractors look at the whole spine and pelvis to assess nerve function and mobility. Through careful spinal care and postural guidance,
we aim to:

Support your nervous system
Ease musculoskeletal tension on the low back and hip complex
Rehabilitate and strengthen your low back to avoid chronic flare ups
