The sciatic nerve is the body’s largest and longest nerve. Sciatica is the inflammation of this nerve. Almost all sciatica creates leg pain. This is usually severe pain along the back of the thighs and legs, although it may be felt in toes, feet and ankles. Sometimes pain is even felt in the hips, the front or side of the legs or in both legs.

    Sciatica can be extremely difficult for sufferers. Standing up, sitting, sleeping, walking, turning or even bending may be impossibly painful.

The Chiropractic Way
Although chiropractic is not precisely a treatment for sciatica. it has brought tremendous relief to millions of sufferers.

    Research studies have shown that chiropractic spinal care is really the most effective choice of care for sufferers of sciatica. In different approaches - chiropractic spinal care, two types of spinal injection and traction - the greatest degree of recovery was experienced by the patients in spinal care. Amazingly, surgery was eventually needed for a large group of the traction patients.
