“Hoover Health and Wellness Center invites local residents to find natural sciatica relief with us,” says Dr. Gary Edwards of Birmingham, AL. “Nerves exit the spine at a variety of locations. The sciatic nerve leaves your spine near the base and it helps control nerve signal flow to your legs. If the sciatic nerve is compromised in any way, you experience symptoms such as: lower back pain; leg pain, numbness or weakness that may involve only one leg; hip pain; [and] limited mobility or pain that worsens after walking, sitting or standing for too long.”” This can lead to even more serious conditions, such as Peripheral Neuropathy. Left untreated, this could cause amputation or could confine a person to a wheelchair for life!”

“Sciatica may occur suddenly following an injury or if a disc herniates unexpectedly,” continues Dr. Edwards’ website. “It may also gradually worsen in intensity beginning with slight lower back pain and then pain or numbness that extends into your legs. We want to treat sciatica as soon as possible . . .  Sciatica is effectively treated with chiropractic care. Our gentle techniques are non-invasive and often provide relief soon after [an] initial visit.”
