Sciatica Treatment in Pickering
Sciatica refers to pain, numbness, or tingling that travels along the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the buttock and down one or both legs. It can range from a mild ache to sharp, burning pain that makes standing or walking difficult. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective treatments available.
What Causes Sciatica?
- Disc herniation pressing on a lumbar nerve root
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Piriformis syndrome (muscular compression of the nerve)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)
- Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
Symptoms of Sciatica
- Lower back pain radiating to buttock & leg
- Sharp or burning leg pain
- Numbness or tingling down the leg
- Weakness in the affected leg
- Pain worse with sitting
- Difficulty standing or walking
Treatment Approach
Dr. Finn begins with a thorough assessment to identify the specific cause. Treatment typically includes spinal adjustments or decompression to relieve nerve root pressure, soft tissue therapy, and a tailored rehabilitation program to prevent recurrence.
Sciatica rarely resolves quickly on its own. Early treatment produces much better outcomes. Call 905-831-3939 to book your assessment.
