Here at Adaptive Chiropractic in Richmond, one of our commonly seen symptoms is a pinched nerve and sciatica treatment. Also known as sciatic pain, sciatica, or a pinched nerve, it is any pain that results from pressure on a nerve, or any other irritation of a nerve. If you suffer from a pinched nerve or any kind of sciatica pain, effective sciatica treatment can go a long way towards helping you get back on your feet again.
Originating in the lower spine, the sciatic nerves are the largest and longest nerves in the human body. It begins in the lower back, where it branches off from the spinal cord. From there, it runs through the buttock and down the legs, ending just below the knee. The sciatic nerve is responsible for sending signals between the spinal cord and the legs, facilitating movement and sensation.
Sciatica is generally caused by either increased pressure on the sciatic nerves, or the stretching or compression of nerve tissue. This can be caused by a range of issues, including:
Poor posture
Prolonged sitting
Sports injuries
Hip fractures
Tumours of the lumbar spine
Herniated disc or other disc injuries
Spinal stenosis (a narrowing of the spinal canal that leads to compression)
Piriformis syndrome (a very rare condition where the sciatic nerve runs through the piriformis muscle instead of beneath it)
Sciatica symptoms may include acute pain, numbness, or both. A pinched nerve or sciatic pain can be concerning. It can change, sometimes becoming a sharp pain in your leg and other times a burning sensation in the muscle.
Sciatica can be an extremely debilitating problem, often leaving sufferers in constant severe pain. Symptoms of sciatica include sharp, stabbing nerve pain, tingling, numbness and weakness, all of which make it difficult for sufferers to go about their daily lives.
Don’t just grit your teeth and tough it out if you are suffering from sciatica. The right chiropractic care plan may be able to relieve pressure on the nerve root, relieve pain and get you back up and moving. Some of the commonly used techniques that your chiropractor might use to treat sciatica include:

Your first visit is designed to understand why you’ve booked, assess your individual presentation and explain the findings clearly before appropriate next steps are discussed.
Your chiropractor will discuss your current concerns, symptoms, health history, previous injuries and factors that may be affecting your day-to-day movement.
Depending on your circumstances, your consultation may include assessment of your movement, posture and relevant orthopaedic or neurological factors.
Your two INSiGHT scans can also be completed as part of your initial assessment.
Your chiropractor will explain the relevant findings from your examination and scans and answer any questions you have.
The scan measurements are considered alongside the clinical assessment rather than being used on their own to diagnose a condition.
We’ll discuss whether chiropractic care may be appropriate and explain the recommended next steps.
If another type of healthcare or further investigation may be more appropriate, this can also be discussed with you.
Allow approximately 45 minutes for your initial consultation.
