Sciatica Support in Woodbridge
You might think of sciatica as just lower back discomfort, but it can be much more. Sciatica can radiate through the hips, legs, and even into the feet, making everyday activities challenging. Whether it feels like a sharp shooting pain, numbness, or tingling, sciatica can interfere with walking, sitting, and even restful sleep. If you’re experiencing these symptoms, the Core Health Care team provides personalized care designed to support comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed. Contributing factors may include:
- Herniated or bulging discs in the lower spine
- Spinal stenosis or narrowing of the spinal canal
- Muscle tension or imbalances in the hips and lower back
- Prolonged sitting or poor posture
- Injuries from sports or accidents
The pain can range from a mild ache to sharper sensations, often affecting one side of the body. In more persistent cases, sciatica may also contribute to weakness in the legs.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic care focuses on improving spinal alignment, which may help ease pressure on the sciatic nerve and support better function. Gentle adjustments are designed to reduce tension, encourage healthy movement, and promote mobility. As Dr Alessia Sili explains, “Our goal is to help patients focus on function and movement. Supporting spinal health can make it easier to stay active with confidence.”
A Comprehensive, Team-Based Approach
Sciatica often benefits from a combination of therapies. Your personalized care plan may include:
- Chiropractic care to encourage spinal alignment and nerve function
- Physiotherapy to build strength, improve posture, and retrain movement patterns
- Massage therapy to ease tight muscles and improve circulation
- Shockwave or cold laser therapy to support tissue recovery
- Acupuncture or cupping to promote relaxation and balance
By integrating these therapies, we aim to support both short-term comfort and longer-term function.
