From Shooting Leg Pain to Full-Body Relief
If you’re dealing with burning pain, numbness, or tingling down your leg, sciatica might be the cause. At Hoover Spine and Joint Center, we help patients find long-lasting relief from sciatica through safe, effective chiropractic care.
Sciatica often feels overwhelming and can interfere with your daily routine, making everything from walking to sleeping uncomfortable. The good news is: you don’t have to live with it.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body. It commonly develops between ages 30 and 50 and is often linked to:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Arthritis or bone spurs
- Sports injuries or trauma
- Repetitive strain or work-related stress
Symptoms can include:
- Sharp, burning pain down the back of the leg
- Numbness or tingling in the calf or foot
- Weakness or difficulty standing or walking
- Discomfort that worsens with sitting, bending, or twisting
While the pain typically radiates down one leg, the source often starts in the lower back.
