Sciatica is often misdiagnosed as general lower back pain, but it involves persistent pain along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down each leg. Symptoms can include sharp pain, tingling, and numbness, typically affecting just one side of the body. At Handeland Chiropractic in Clarkfield, MN, we focus on identifying the root cause of your sciatic pain with non-invasive, drug-free treatments. By maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, and avoiding prolonged sitting, you can help prevent sciatica and improve your overall spinal health.
