Sciatica can cause significant discomfort, affecting your daily life. If you're struggling with sciatica in Victoria, BC, chiropractic care may provide the relief you need. At Saanichton Chiropractic, we specialize in treating sciatica through personalized care plans designed to address the root cause of your pain.


Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. This pain is often caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compressing part of the nerve.

Common Symptoms

  • Lower Back Pain: Persistent or sharp pain in the lower back.

  • Leg Pain: Radiating pain down one leg, often described as a burning or shooting sensation.

  • Numbness: Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot.

  • Weakness: Muscle weakness in the affected leg.



How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment, reducing nerve compression, and promoting overall spinal health. Here’s how our treatments can help alleviate sciatica:

Spinal Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments aim to mobilize the spine, reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve. These adjustments can help alleviate pain and improve mobility.

Physical Therapy

Incorporating physical therapy exercises can strengthen the muscles supporting your spine, improve flexibility, and prevent future injuries.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote relaxation, which can be beneficial in managing sciatica pain.

Lifestyle and Posture Advice

Our team provides guidance on maintaining proper posture, ergonomic adjustments, and lifestyle changes to prevent further sciatic nerve irritation.



Additional Treatment Options
