“Back pain” is a general term for many conditions that cause pain in the upper or lower back. It can happen due to poor posture, car accidents, arthritis, or sports injuries. Our chiropractors can create a treatment plan based on your specific back pain, where it’s located, and your medical history.
Sciatica, or lumbar radiculopathy, is connected to the nerves in your lower back. People with sciatica have pain along their sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve gets “pinched,” causing sharp, stinging, or burning pain in the lower back, buttocks, legs, or feet.
