Sciatica

Sciatica is a common type of pain that affects the sciatic nerve, a large nerve which extends from the lower back down the back of each leg.

Depending on the severity, pain can also be felt in the foot or toes. Sciatica typically affects only one side of the body. In most people, sitting makes the pain worse.

Sciatica is caused by irritation of the root(s) of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine.

Hartsburg Chiropractic has successfully treated hundreds of patients suffering from Sciatica pain. Avoid surgery and drugs. Call today to see if we can help.

Additional causes of sciatica include: 

  • Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

    Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back.

  • Degenerative Disc Disease

    The breakdown of discs between your vertebrae. Occurs after prolong subluxation.

  • Spondylolisthesis

    A condition in which one vertebra slips forward over another one  .

  • Pregnancy

    The sciatic nerve runs under your uterus to your legs. Pressure on the nerve caused by the developing baby.

Other things that may make your back pain worse include being overweight, not exercising regularly, wearing high heels, or sleeping on a mattress that is too soft. Seek immediate medical attention if you have progressive lower extremity weakness, numbness in the upper thighs, and/or loss of bladder or bowel control.

Before seeing Dr. Matt, I would throw my back out every 6 months or so. All I would need to do is step wrong, pick up something incorrectly, or sneeze too hard, and that would be it. On top of that. my back and neck would constantly be aching. Since I starting going to Dr. Matt not only has the achiness almost totally gone away, but I have not thrown my back out at all--and there have been times when I know that I would have if I wasn't going to him regularly. I recommend him to anyone I know who has join/muscle problems and wants to feel better.

Dr. Matt Rocks!!! He's the only dr. that I have seen (and I've seen my fair share of drs.) that has been able to keep me competing in my triathlons with no real injuries. I had knee surgery 2 1/2 years ago and the pain keeps coming back, but Dr. Matt is able to work his magic and keeps me running! Thank you Dr. Matt!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hartsburg for over a year now. His high level of content knowledge in terms of the human body and physiological responses to training is immense. Dr. Hartsburg has also worked with me on several physical issues that I have run into over the last year plus with great responses. Keep up the great work!

After having whiplash from a car accident, neck problems, back problems etc. Dr. Matt is the only doctor that has made me feel better. For over 5 yrs of seeing specialists with no relief, I was introducted the Dr. Matt. And Thank God. As a golf instructor I need my body to be in some decent shape....after just a few visits, Dr. Matt got me better than that, I Feel Great. Thanks.
