Welcome! Our health staff at West Hartford Chiropractic knows the frustration and limitation that comes from sciatica pain. Fortunately, we also know the benefits of chiropractic care for easing sciatica and restoring proper motion relationships. Sciatica includes a range of symptoms that help us determine the cause of your condition.
For example, many patients feel lower back pain or pressure, hip pain and discomfort that continues down the leg and often ends in the calf. Typically, the pain occurs only on one side. The reason for your discomfort is in the position of the sciatic nerve at the base of your spine near your lower back. If this nerve is compressed or inflamed due to a herniated disc, spinal degeneration, or tension in the hip muscles then sciatica pain may present.
The discs between your vertebrae offer a cushion so you are able to move freely and without pain. If these discs become weak due to overuse or improper motion the fluid may leak and take up the space designated for the sciatic nerve. As a result, the nerve is compressed and messages do not flow smoothly. Your body may feel pain, weakness and numbness. The same results occur if the vertebrae slip out of place or your lower spinal canal narrows- the nerve does not have the room it needs to function properly. Call now for an appointment!

We welcome residents of West Hartford, Hartford, Canton, Avon, Simsbury, Farmington, Bloomfield, Glastonbury and Newington to visit us if you are feeling pain or pressure from your lower back to your leg.
