San Diego Sciatica Help

Understanding Sciatica and How Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC Can Help

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of the body and can vary in intensity from mild discomfort to severe pain, often accompanied by symptoms like burning, numbness, and tingling sensations.

Causes of Sciatica The root cause of sciatica is usually a spinal disc herniation pressing on the nerves, but it can also arise from other issues such as spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, a misaligned vertebra, or even pregnancy. The key to effective treatment is accurately identifying the underlying cause, which is where Dr. Cassidy Boelk DC's expertise comes into play.
