Tingling, numbness, shooting pain, and even muscle weakness in your legs and buttocks may indicate sciatica, an aggravation of the large sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom of a larger problem that can be helped with chiropractic care. Consult Dr. J. Zimmerman of Dr. J. Zimmerman, Health First Chiropractic Clinic in Galloway, Northfield, and Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, to determine if your sciatica is due to a tight piriformis muscle or a spine issue. He’ll help alleviate symptoms of this painful, irritating condition.
Many people feel relief after a few weeks or months of a combination of at-home therapy and regular chiropractic sessions. If it’s determined that a herniated disc or pinched nerve is the cause of your sciatica, healing may take longer.
