Sciatica Relief in Peachtree City

More than low back pain, sciatica is a type of nerve pain that starts in the lower back and can travel through the hips and down one leg, often causing burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness. The discomfort can make it difficult to work, stay active, or enjoy daily life, but in most cases it responds well to natural, conservative care. Sciatica is not a diagnosis by itself but a sign of an underlying issue affecting the spine or pelvis. It is commonly caused by a herniated or bulging disc, pelvis misalignment, or bone spurs that place pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Risk increases with repetitive lifting, long periods of sitting, pregnancy, aging, or past injuries. For some, the pain comes and goes. For others, it becomes persistent and needs professional care to prevent long-term problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sciatica?

Sciatica happens when something compresses the sciatic nerve, often a disc bulge, misaligned pelvis, or spinal degeneration.

Can sciatica go away on its own?

Sometimes mild cases improve with rest and stretching, but recurring pain usually means an underlying issue needs attention.

What treatments are available?

Chiropractic care, EMS therapy, corrective exercises, and lifestyle changes are effective non-invasive options.

How long does it take to feel better?

Every case is unique, but many people feel improvement in two to six weeks with consistent care.

Is chiropractic safe for sciatica?

Yes. Chiropractic is a safe, drug-free way to relieve nerve pressure and improve function when provided by a trained doctor.

When should I see a professional?

If pain lasts more than a week, affects your daily activities, or gets worse, it is time for an evaluation.

Are there any self-care tips for managing sciatica at home?

Short walks, gentle stretching, avoiding long periods of sitting, and using a supportive pillow between your knees while sleeping can ease pressure on the sciatic nerve. Keeping good posture and using proper lifting techniques can also prevent flare-ups, but professional care is important for long-term relief.
