If you are suffering from frequent back pain your life may be very difficult at times. In fact, you might not be able to do simple things like sitting or standing without pain. Today, many people are dealing with a painful problem known as sciatica and your Snellville chiropractor can help you with this condition.

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes impinged or irritated. This nerve is very long and serves the lower body including the legs and feet. Your sciatic nerve helps the legs function properly, and an irritated nerve can result in many different types of painful sensations. This can happen in a number of different ways.

Your spine is composed of a series of segments. Each segment contains a bony structure called a vertebrae separated by soft gelatinous material known as disks. Together, these segments form a hollow structure which serves as a main support and conduit for nerves passing from the brain to the body. It protects these nerves from damage.

Creatures that walk upright can easily develop spinal problems due to the nature of their anatomy. If the spine becomes just a tiny bit out of alignment, it can impinge nerves and this can result in a wide range of painful issues. Sciatica is what happens when the lower back has become out of its normal alignment.

If the sciatic nerve is injured, pain may be felt in the low back, buttocks, or down the back of one's legs. In fact, it can sometimes be felt in the feet. It's usually confined to one side of the body and the pain may feel like burning, numbness, stabbing, electric shock, or a strange tingling sensation which is hard to describe.

Sciatica can totally disrupts one's life and make it hard to sleep or work. Thankfully, your Snellville chiropractic doctor has several methods, proven effective for sciatica pain relief. With the help of chiropractic adjustment, your spine can be restored to its natural alignment, and nerve pain may soon be a thing of the past.
