The sciatic nerve is the largest in the body and starts in the spinal column in the lower back and continues through the buttocks and legs. When the sciatic nerve becomes compressed, it can cause several symptoms, which may require a chiropractor for sciatica treatment. Los Angeles residents struggling with sciatica symptoms can seek treatment with a chiropractor at SoCal Spinal Decompression Center, Lee Chiropractic, Inc.
Top Five Sciatica Symptoms
Not everyone experiences the same sciatica symptoms, but patients commonly experience five symptoms. The most common symptom is pain starting in the lower back or buttocks, which can be mild or sharp and worsen with movement. Another symptom is pain that radiates down one left, through the calf, and into the foot. Finally, the pain in the leg is often a throbbing or tingling pain that does not go away.
Some patients experience lower back, buttocks, or leg pain, which worsens when sitting down. Another symptom may include numbness and tingling in the leg and foot, which may be present all the time and worsen when sitting down. Finally, tripping or having trouble lifting your foot could be another sciatica symptom.
