Help for Sciatic Pain: Osteopathic Treatment in West Didsbury to Restore a Pain-Free Life

Integrating Osteopathy and Chiropractic Techniques for Effective Relief and Management of Sciatica Pain.

Sciatica is a nerve pain that is felt in the back or buttock that radiates down the leg below the knee into the foot and toes in the distribution of the sciatic nerve. Symptoms can also include tingling or numbness and loss of muscle strength in the same leg. This pain is frequently caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back, often due to conditions like a herniated disc, spinal degeneration, or inflammation resulting from injury.
