Sciatica is caused by irritation by the spine of the nerves that form the sciatic nerve. Inflammation compression, direct bony compression, disc herniation and other causes must be identified precisely in order to apply the proper treatment by any doctor. Chiropractors are no exception. Watch Christopher’s story about sciatica. If and only if, it appears safe to treat the causative misalignment, disc bulge or inflammation, the back pain chiropractor will “adjust” the spine into optimal position to remove interference in the nerves thereby restoring function and decreasing pain to the sciatic nerve.
