The sciatic nerves are the largest in the body and run down the back of the leg. One of the most common causes of sciatica is the misalignment of the lower back vertebrae. This can put pressure on the nerve root as it leaves the spinal cord.

The chiropractic approach is to use carefully directed and controlled adjustments to realign the misplaced vertebrae and thus remove the nerve interference. Chiropractic care can be quite effective in reducing nerve irritation and its associated pain, tingling or numbness down the leg.
