When something affects your sciatic nerve, the body's largest nerve, it can cause you to develop sciatica. There are many common side effects of this condition and it can be an extremely painful condition to live with. It's helpful for anyone with sciatica to see a chiropractor for treatment. Several treatments can help you feel better. If you are in or around Destrehan, contact Riverbend Chiropractic to book your appointment.

Leg, Buttock, and Back Pain

When people get sciatica, they typically get it on one side only. This pain may range from back pain to buttock pain to reaching down into one leg. The pain may be moderate or severe and it may get worse over time. Sometimes, the pain is so bad that it's disabling and can affect your independence.

Weakness and Numbness

When you have sciatica, you may feel weakness or numbness in areas along the length of the sciatic nerve. This nerve stretches from the lower back down through the buttocks and hips and into the legs. You may have weakness or numbness at any point along the nerve or across a wide area of it.

Movement Problems

You may feel sciatica pain that gets worse when you move. This is common and it can become worse when you've been sitting for a long while and need to stand up and move. You may also experience some loss of movement as a side effect of this condition. This can make ordinary tasks far more difficult.

Feeling Pins and Needles

The pins and needs feeling can show up in your feet, toes, or your legs. This can be highly uncomfortable and difficult to live with.

Loss of Balance

Because of pain, numbness, and weakness in your legs, you may find that you have a harder time keeping your balance. This can lead to falls and injuries.
