Our team at Southport Chiropractic in Fairfield knows that sciatic nerve pain is one of the most difficult things to endure. Sciatic nerve pain can leave you suddenly unable to move freely. It may even prevent you from going to work or caring for your family. Our chiropractors have gathered a few warning signs that may indicate you have sciatica.

Lower Back, Buttock, and Leg Pain

The pain caused by sciatica is often centered in the lower back and bottom. Sometimes the pain radiates down one or both legs, creating a shooting sensation that changes with movement.

Muscle Weakness or Numbness

Do you notice that you are numb or weak when you try to walk? If you feel like your legs are about to crumble beneath your body, sciatica could be the cause. Chiropractic care can address this weakness.

Immobility

Does it hurt to move? Does your sciatic nerve pain worsen with movement? You are not alone if this is the case. You may find it more difficult to move when your lower back and bottom are in pain, especially because much of the pain appears when you try to move.

Tingling Sensations

If you feel a tingling that occurs not only in your legs but also in your feet and toes, sciatica may be the cause. You might feel the sensation shooting around different parts of your body, which can feel very uncomfortable.

Bladder and Bowel Issues

If you have been struggling with bladder or bowel control issues with sciatic nerve pain, you are not alone. Many people with sciatica find that controlling their bowel or bladder becomes more difficult.
