Relieve Sciatica Pain at the Source

Sciatica can be one of the most frustrating and limiting types of pain.

It often starts in the lower back and travels into the hip, buttock, or down the leg—sometimes all the way to the foot.

At Kluver Chiropractic, we focus on identifying and correcting the root cause of your sciatic nerve irritation so you can get lasting relief.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is not a condition by itself—it’s a symptom of irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, running from your lower back down through your legs.

When something puts pressure on this nerve, it can cause:

• Sharp or shooting pain
• Burning sensations
• Numbness or tingling
• Weakness in the leg

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica is most commonly caused by problems in the lower spine.

Common causes we see include:

• Disc bulges or herniations
• Joint dysfunction in the lower back
• Muscle tightness (especially in the hips)
• Spinal misalignment
• Degenerative changes

👉 The key is identifying which structure is causing the pressure.

What Does Sciatica Feel Like?

Patients often describe sciatica as:

• Pain that travels down one leg
• A deep ache in the buttock
• Tingling or “pins and needles”
• Pain that worsens with sitting
• Difficulty standing up straight

👉 If your pain is traveling, it’s often nerve-related—not just muscle.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica

At Kluver Chiropractic, treatment is focused on restoring proper movement and relieving pressure on the nerve.

Your care may include:

• Specific chiropractic adjustments
• Targeted mobility and stretching
• Postural correction
• Movement recommendations

👉 The goal: reduce nerve irritation and restore normal function

Why Address Sciatica Early

Sciatica rarely resolves completely if the underlying cause is not addressed.

Without proper care, it can:

• Become more frequent
• Increase in intensity
• Lead to long-term nerve irritation

👉 Early treatment leads to faster and more complete recovery.

Common Mistakes That Make Sciatica Worse

We see this often in our office:

• Sitting for long periods
• Ignoring early symptoms
• Stretching incorrectly
• Relying only on pain medication

👉 These may temporarily reduce symptoms but do not fix the cause.

When Should You Seek Care?

You should schedule an evaluation if you have:

• Pain traveling down your leg
• Numbness or tingling
• Pain that worsens with sitting
• Recurring episodes of back and leg pain
