Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain in the lower back and radiates down one or both legs. The pain can vary from dull and achy to sharp, sometimes even feeling like “pins and needles” or electric shocks. It can also be accompanied by burning, numbness, or tingling sensations, making it challenging to perform daily tasks and enjoy an active lifestyle.



At Dr. Ilan Burstein's chiropractic clinic, we understand how debilitating sciatica can be, and we're here to help you find lasting relief. Our individualized chiropractic approach targets the root cause of your sciatic nerve pain, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve your overall quality of life.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica typically occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down to the legs, becomes irritated or compressed. This can happen due to a variety of reasons, including:

• Herniated or Bulging Discs: When a disc in the spine presses on the sciatic nerve, it can cause severe pain.
• Spinal Misalignments: Misalignments in the spine, also known as subluxations, can lead to nerve compression and pain.
• Degenerative Disc Disease: As the discs in your spine wear down over time, they may put pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal column can result in nerve compression and sciatica symptoms.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Sciatica

Chiropractic care is an effective treatment for sciatica because it focuses on addressing the underlying causes of nerve pain, rather than just masking the symptoms. Through spinal adjustments, chiropractors can:

• Realign the Spine: Misalignments in the spine can contribute to nerve compression. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Relieve Nerve Pressure: By correcting spinal misalignments and restoring balance, chiropractic care can alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, reducing pain and discomfort.
• Reduce Inflammation: Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce inflammation in the affected areas, which can help decrease pain and irritation of the nerve.
• Improve Mobility: By addressing the root cause of sciatica, chiropractic care can enhance your range of motion and improve your ability to move without pain.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Sciatica

Chiropractic care offers many benefits for individuals suffering from sciatica, including:

• Non-invasive, Drug-Free Treatment: Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive solution to managing and relieving sciatica pain without relying on medications or surgery.
• Customized Treatment Plans: Dr. Ilan Burstein will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, addressing the underlying causes of your sciatica.
• Long-Term Relief: Regular chiropractic care can provide long-term relief by focusing on the root causes of sciatica, reducing the risk of recurring pain.
• Improved Quality of Life: Chiropractic treatment helps restore mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall wellness, allowing you to get back to doing the activities you love.

What to Expect at Your Chiropractic Visit

When you visit Dr. Ilan Burstein’s office, the first step is a comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Burstein will assess your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle to determine the underlying cause of your sciatica.
