Risk Factors for Sciatica 

A chiropractor is well aware of the importance of your health and understanding your lifestyle to help you achieve the treatment you deserve for a pain-free, healthy life. So in the event, you visit us at Lake Worth Chiropractic & Wellness, we're aware of the severe pain associated with sciatica and help you navigate life in ways that keep that pain at bay.

What Is Sciatica?

Just like any other pain we treat in Lake Worth, we know that sciatica is oftentimes caused by nerve issues that are correlated to one's spine. Whether it be spinal stenosis, bone spur, or a herniated disc, it can affect one's sciatic nerve, which goes all the way through the buttocks, hips, and lower back. In many circumstances, this can bring numbness, inflammation, and pain to such area - with some cases even going as far as bladder or bowel dysfunction.

Age, Lifestyle, and Sciatica Risk

When it comes to your age, the risk of sciatica increases as bone spurs develop and spinal discs begin to wear. Another factor that can increase sciatica is obesity or if your occupation requires twisting or sitting or other activities that rely on your lower back. If you have had nerve damage from diabetes, you may also be at risk for sciatica.
