Understanding Sciatica and Chiropractic Care
If sciatica is disrupting your life in Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, or the Greater Perimeter area, Dr. Daniel Bart at Pinnacle Chiropractic provides precise, holistic care designed to deliver lasting relief. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the body’s longest nerve, running from the lower back to the feet—becomes compressed. This pressure can trigger pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness along the nerve’s path. Below, learn what causes sciatic nerve compression, how to recognize the symptoms, and how chiropractic care can help.
What are common causes of sciatica?
Sciatica typically develops when a herniated disc presses on the sciatic nerve. Other causes include:● Degenerative disc disease● Muscle strains and ligament sprains● Spinal stenosis● Auto or sports injuries● Pelvic injuries● Poor posture● Improper lifting habits
Signs you may have sciatica
“Sciatica” refers to the symptoms caused by nerve compression, which might include:● Sharp, shooting, or burning pain in the lower back, hip, leg, or foot● Limited hip mobility● Muscle weakness, often in one leg
Because the sciatic nerve branches down each leg, symptoms typically appear on only one side.How does chiropractic care help with sciatica?

Treatment may include:● Targeted Gonstead spinal, pelvic, and extremity adjustments● Therapeutic massage to ease tension, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation● Corrective exercises to improve mobility and strengthen supporting muscles● Electrical stimulation therapy to calm irritated nerves and reduce pain
