Find the Root Cause. Get Real Relief. Avoid Surgery When Possible.
If you’re dealing with sharp, shooting pain down your leg, persistent low back pain, or numbness and tingling, you may be experiencing sciatica or nerve compression.
At Lemmata Chiropractic in Hampton, VA, we don’t just chase symptoms—we identify why the nerve is irritated in the first place and build a plan to correct it.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is not a condition—it’s a symptom of nerve irritation, most commonly involving the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body.
This irritation is often caused by:
- Bulging or herniated discs
- Spinal degeneration or arthritis
- Poor spinal alignment
- Muscle imbalances or inflammation
When the nerve is compressed, it can create symptoms that travel from your low back into the hip, leg, or even foot.
Common Sciatica & Nerve Pain Symptoms
You may be dealing with nerve-related pain if you notice:
- Sharp, shooting pain down one leg
- Burning or electric-like sensations
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Weakness when standing, walking, or lifting
- Pain that worsens with sitting or driving
💡 Many of our patients come in after being told to “just rest” or take medication—only to find the problem keeps coming back.
Why Sciatica Keeps Coming Back
Most treatments focus on temporary relief—but don’t address the underlying cause.
At Lemmata Chiropractic, we look deeper:
- Is a disc putting pressure on the nerve?
- Is there spinal instability or degeneration?
- Is inflammation limiting healing and circulation?
Until these are addressed, the nerve continues to stay irritated.
