Sciatica
Sciatica is a common finding with is associated with lower back pain. At Blossom, we assess the spine, lower back and legs to determine the cause and treat to alleviate the pain.
Overview of sciatica:
Sciatica is pain that is felt along the lower back and hips, buttock and back of the leg. It can cause tingling and numbness, and at times shooting pain to the feet. The sciatic nerve is a combination of nerves that come together to supply the lower back, to the back of the leg and can be put under stress when there is abnormal pressure put on it.
It is now known that the root of sciatic pain stems from more than just the lower back and the stretch through the spinal cord from any region of the body can put pressure on that nerve.
At Blossom we assess the lower back and other related regions to take the pressure off the nerve so you can get back to living life pain free. Book online today.
