Dr. Kenneth Hughes, at Hughes Chiropractic, has offered natural health care for the whole family since 1991. He advises, “Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain going down the sciatic nerve pathway, which runs from the leg to the lower back. The most frequent cause of sciatica is a spinal disc herniation, which puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, and is present in about 90 percent of cases. The key symptom associated with sciatica is a pain that starts in your lower back and travels down one leg. In some cases, this pain also radiates into your foot.”

            Hughes will perform chiropractic adjustments without the need for surgery or harmful medications to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve and restore motion to the joints. Spinal traction therapy is another way to aid in the recovery from sciatic nerve pain. Additional therapies for sciatica include spinal traction therapy, physiotherapy and custom stretching and exercise programs.
