Sciatica is a pain that is often caused by a herniated or slipped disk pressing on the sciatic nerve or by the narrowing of your spine. Sciatica can come on suddenly or gradually and originates from your lower back down to your hips and leg. It is a common condition that many adults struggle with within their lifetime. If you are suffering from sciatica, our team at Circle Chiropractic Center, PC in Fairfax can help treat the root cause of the pain so that the condition doesn't keep you from enjoying your life.
Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg.
