What is Lower Back Pain or Sciatica?
Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints people experience, often affecting daily activities such as working, exercising, or even simply getting out of bed. The discomfort may range from a dull ache to sharp, shooting pain, and in many cases it can radiate into the hips, buttocks, or legs.
When the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed, the result is sciatica. This condition typically causes pain, tingling, or numbness that travels down one or both legs. Common causes include:
- Spinal misalignments
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Muscle tension or imbalance
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Degenerative changes in the spine
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At My Wellness Chiro, we take a holistic approach to addressing the root causes of lower back pain and sciatica. Instead of only focusing on short-term relief, chiropractic care aims to restore balance and improve how your spine, muscles, and nervous system function together.
Chiropractic treatment may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to improve alignment and reduce nerve pressure
- Postural assessment and advice to prevent recurring strain
- Lifestyle and ergonomic recommendations to support healing in everyday life
- Rehabilitation exercises and stretches to strengthen and stabilise the spine
