There are nerves that exit the spine in your low back that form the two sciatic nerves. Sciatica is also sometimes (incorrectly) called a slipped disc. You’ve probably heard this term before, but a disc can’t actually slip though it can herniate, bulge, or rupture which results in direct pressure on the nearby sciatic nerves.
What’s the result, you ask? Inflammation, swelling, and pain. Depending on where exactly the sciatic nerve is affected, pain may radiate all the way down to your toes!
Sciatic pain can have a serious impact on how well you feel, but it rarely produces permanent nerve damage, especially if you seek chiropractic treatment upon noticing the symptoms.

Both of these treatment options help restore the proper relationship between your discs, bones, and nerves which will help your body restore itself naturally.
