What is a pinched nerve? What is sciatica?

A pinched nerve happens when surrounding tissues — such as a disc, joint, muscle, ligament, or inflamed tissue — place pressure on or irritate a nerve.

Sciatica refers to pain or nerve symptoms that follow the sciatic nerve pathway. This often causes pain that starts in the low back or glute area and travels into the hip, leg, or foot.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica or a Pinched Nerve

Symptoms may include:

  • Lower back, hip, glute, or leg pain

  • Pain that radiates down one leg

  • Tingling or pins-and-needles sensations

  • Numbness in the leg or foot

  • Muscle weakness or a leg that feels like it may “give way”

  • Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, lifting, or driving

  • Difficulty sleeping, walking, or staying active

Typical Causes of Sciatica and Nerve Irritation

Sciatica and pinched nerve symptoms may be related to:

  • Disc irritation or herniation

  • Joint restriction or spinal misalignment

  • Muscle spasm or inflammation

  • Posture strain

  • Repetitive stress

  • Prior injury

  • Pregnancy-related low back or pelvic changes

  • Sports or work-related overuse

At Randour Chiropractic Clinics, our chiropractors evaluate each patient individually. We look at your symptoms, history, movement patterns, orthopedic and neurological findings, and daily activity limitations to better understand what may be contributing to your pain.

  • Spinal adjustments to improve joint motion and alignment

  • Soft-tissue therapy to calm tight or overworked muscles
