⚡ Sciatica & Nerve Pain — It Feels Different for a Reason

Not all pain is the same. Understanding the difference can help you get the right care.

🔹 Muscle Pain:
• Dull, achy, or sore
• Feels tight or stiff
• Usually stays in one area
• Improves with stretching or rest

🔹 Nerve Pain (like sciatica):
• Sharp, shooting, or burning
• Can travel from the low back down the leg
• Tingling, numbness, or “pins and needles”
• May worsen with sitting, bending, or certain movements

Sciatica happens when a nerve is irritated or compressed—often in the lower back.

✨ The goal isn’t just to mask the pain—it’s to relieve the pressure causing it.

Chiropractic care and bodywork can help:
✔️ Improve spinal alignment
✔️ Reduce tension around the nerve
✔️ Restore movement and function
✔️ Support the body’s natural healing process

If the pain is traveling, tingling, or not going away—it’s worth getting checked.
