SCIATICA PAIN TREATMENT IN bUCKS cOUNTY pa
Sciatica pain is nerve pain that shoots down the back of the leg due to compression of the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is located from the sacral plexus in the lumbar spine down to the lower leg.
The primary cause of this pain is tightness in the piriformis muscle that sits underneath the gluteus maximus and on top of the sciatic nerve.
Pain in this sciatic nerve can also be due to tightness in the pelvis or hips causing improper mobility of the low back-hip complex.
This is the most common self- diagnosed complaint that Chiropractors see in office, but it is often misdiagnosed.
