The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. When a lumbar disc, tight piriformis muscle, or misaligned sacroiliac joint compresses it, the result is sharp, burning pain radiating from the lower back into the leg or foot. Dr. Robert Townsend, DC has treated sciatica in Oakland's Glenview neighborhood for 17 years.
Chiropractic adjustments reduce mechanical pressure on the sciatic nerve by restoring normal lumbar and pelvic motion. Most sciatica patients notice meaningful relief within the first few visits. Many feel better the same day.
