If you’re experiencing sharp, burning pain radiating down your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica—a condition that affects the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body. At True Life Wellness in Waukee, we provide non-surgical chiropractic sciatica treatment to help you heal and move pain-free again.
🔎 What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to nerve pain that originates in the lower spine and travels through the hips, buttocks, and down one or both legs. It’s typically caused by spinal misalignment, disc compression, or inflammation pressing on the sciatic nerve.
⚠️ Symptoms of Sciatica
- Radiating pain from the lower back to the leg or foot
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg
- Sharp, burning, or electric shock-like sensations
- Pain worsens when sitting, coughing, or standing for long periods
- Difficulty walking or moving the affected leg
