Sciatica Relief in Charleston, SC

Sciatica isn't a diagnosis on its own, it's a description of what you're feeling: pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from your lower back or hip down through your leg, following the path of the sciatic nerve.

At Cypress Chiropractic & Wellness, we look for the specific area of the spine creating that irritation, usually a restricted joint or disc putting pressure where the sciatic nerve roots exit the spinal column.

What Sciatica Often Feels Like

  • A sharp or burning pain down the back of one leg

  • Hamstring and/or glute pain

  • Numbness or tingling in the calf or foot

  • Weakness in the leg or foot

Our Approach

A hands-on exam, and where useful, an INSiGHT nervous system scan, help us understand exactly what's happening. Read more about what sciatica actually is on our blog, or see the full list of conditions we help with.
