That shooting leg pain? It often starts in the back.
Sciatica sends pain, numbness, or tingling down your leg from a pinched or irritated nerve. We ease the pressure at the source so the nerve can calm down.
What's going on
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower back down each leg. When a bulging disc or tight muscle presses on it, you feel the result all the way down your leg.
Our job is to find what's pressing on the nerve and relieve that pressure gently, so the irritation can settle and the pain can fade.
