Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, usually from a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis. It can also result from piriformis syndrome, where a muscle in the buttock compresses the nerve.
Most patients experience significant relief within 4-8 weeks of consistent chiropractic treatment. Mild cases may improve faster, while severe or chronic sciatica may take longer. Dr. Mayfield will provide a realistic timeline after your examination.
