If sciatica pain is stopping you from sitting, standing, driving, or sleeping comfortably, you’re not alone.
At Active Life Chiropractic in Ballantyne, Dr. Bob Mason helps patients in Charlotte find lasting relief from sciatic nerve pain by addressing the root cause, not just masking symptoms.
Sciatica often causes pain that starts in the lower back or hip and travels down the buttock, leg, calf, or foot. Some people also experience burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness depending on the level of nerve irritation.
Sciatica is commonly caused by pressure or irritation affecting the sciatic nerve. This may stem from issues in the lower back, pelvis, surrounding muscles, or spinal discs. Identifying the source is important for choosing the right treatment approach.
Many patients seek chiropractic care for sciatica to reduce nerve irritation, improve mobility, ease muscle tension, and address underlying movement imbalances. A personalized evaluation can help determine the best care plan for your symptoms.
