TREATING SCIATICA WITH CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Sciatica is a prevalent and often debilitating condition that affects a significant portion of the population, leading to pain, tingling, and numbness that extends from the lower back down to the feet. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which is the largest single nerve in your body, becomes pinched or irritated. This nerve plays a crucial role as it connects your spinal cord with your leg and foot muscles, facilitating movement and sensation. Understanding Sciatica, its causes, symptoms, and the available treatment options is the first step towards effective relief and recovery. At Square One Health, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to address your specific needs and help you regain control of your life.
