Introduction
Sharp pain shooting down the leg, numbness in the foot, or a deep ache in the hip or lower back are often signs of sciatica. For many people in Pleasant Grove, sciatica can make sitting, standing, or sleeping uncomfortable—and sometimes unbearable.

While pain medications may offer temporary relief, they don’t address the underlying cause. AtThe Chiro in Pleasant Grove, Utah,Dr. Bruce R. Lowryhelps patients find natural, long-term relief from sciatica by improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve pressure.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed. This nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. When pressure is placed on it, symptoms may include:

• Pain radiating from the lower back into the leg

• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

• Burning or electric-like sensations

• Weakness in the leg

• Pain that worsens when sitting

Sciatica is not a condition itself, but a symptom of an underlying spinal issue.

Common Causes of Sciatic Nerve Pain

Sciatica often develops due to problems in the lower spine or pelvis, such as:

• Spinal misalignment

• Disc bulges or herniation

• Tight muscles in the hips or lower back

• Poor posture or prolonged sitting

• Old injuries or auto accidents

Without proper care, these issues can continue to irritate the nerve and prolong symptoms.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica

Dr. Lowry focuses on correcting the structural issues that place pressure on the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic care may help by:

• Improving alignment of the lower spine and pelvis

• Reducing nerve compression

• Restoring proper joint movement

• Decreasing muscle tension that contributes to pain

• Improving posture and movement patterns

Many patients experience reduced leg pain, improved mobility, and greater comfort once nerve irritation is relieved.

Who Can Benefit from Chiropractic Sciatica Care

Chiropractic care can be effective for sciatica affecting:

• Office workers who sit for long periods

• Active adults and athletes

• Seniors with degenerative spinal changes

• People recovering from minor accidents or injuries

• Individuals with recurring lower back and leg pain

Because chiropractic care treats the cause—not just the symptoms—it often leads to longer-lasting improvement.
