If you’ve ever experienced sharp, shooting pain down your leg, you may be dealing with sciatica. This common condition affects millions of people and can interfere with daily activities, sleep, and quality of life. At Chiropractic Wellness & Rehabilitation in Oshawa, we help patients find natural, drug-free relief from sciatica through safe and effective chiropractic care.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp or burning pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs
- Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
- Muscle weakness in the affected leg
- Pain that worsens when sitting, standing too long, or coughing
Sciatica is often caused by a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tightness pressing on the nerve.
How Chiropractic Care Helps with Sciatica
Chiropractic adjustments target the root cause of sciatic nerve irritation instead of just masking the pain. Benefits include:
- Restoring Alignment: Gentle adjustments reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Pain Relief: Natural, drug-free care to ease discomfort.
- Improved Mobility: Restores range of motion so you can move without pain.
- Muscle Relaxation: Reduces tension in the lower back and hips.
- Prevention: Corrects imbalances to stop flare-ups from returning.
Our chiropractors assess your posture, spine, and movement to create a personalized care plan for long-term relief.

- Massage Therapy: Loosens tight muscles contributing to nerve compression.
