Sciatica

No doctor referral required

The sciatic nerve arises from the sacral plexus from roots of L4-S3 and runs through the buttock and down the lower limb. It is the longest and widest single nerve in the body.

Pain and functional symptoms may be caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. This may be caused by: spinal disc herniation/bulge, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and piriformis syndrome. At St. Catharines Pain Relief Clinic, we uniquely manage sciatica with: chiropractic, spinal decompression, laser therapy, acupuncture, soft tissue therapy, massage therapy and physiotherapy.
