Sciatica Care
Sciatica can cause pain, tingling, numbness, or discomfort that travels from the lower back into the hip, buttock, or leg. Dr. Tuan Truong provides personalized chiropractic care to help improve mobility and reduce discomfort when appropriate.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica describes symptoms caused by irritation or compression affecting the sciatic nerve. Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that extends into one leg.
Pain beginning in the lower back that may extend into the leg.
Discomfort traveling through the buttock, thigh, calf, or foot.
Some patients notice tingling or altered sensation along the leg.
Walking, standing, or sitting comfortably may become more difficult.
Our Approach
Dr. Truong begins by discussing your symptoms, reviewing your medical history, and performing an examination. If chiropractic care is appropriate, treatment recommendations are tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Because sciatica symptoms can have different causes, identifying the source of your symptoms is an important part of determining the most appropriate care.
