Sciatica Relief in Inglewood
Living with sciatica can feel overwhelming. Some people notice a sharp, shooting pain down the leg, while others experience a dull ache that lingers throughout the day. Sitting at a desk, bending to pick something up, or even trying to rest at night can become uncomfortable. At Oasis Chiropractic, we welcome families across Inglewood with care that focuses on comfort, movement, and overall wellbeing.
What Exactly is Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—which extends from your lower back through your hips and legs—becomes irritated or compressed. Pressure on this nerve can trigger symptoms like tingling, numbness, or pain that travels from the lower back into the legs. While symptoms vary, they all signal that the nerve is under pressure.
Early Intervention is Important
For some, the discomfort comes and goes. For others, it grows more persistent and starts to interfere with daily life. Seeking care early can provide insight into what may be contributing to your discomfort and offer practical strategies to manage it. With the proper guidance, many people find it easier to get back to work, exercise, and family life without constant distraction.
How Chiropractic May Play a Role
During your first visit, we take time to listen to your history, complete an assessment, and explain what we find. We may use a blend of light spinal adjustments, muscle therapy, and practical suggestions for posture and daily routines to encourage better movement and reduce day-to-day strain.. Every plan is tailored to the individual, to reduce strain and allow the body to move more freely.
