The term “sciatica” directly translates to “leg pain” and refers to a condition that can significantly affect daily life. Sciatic pain may present in several ways, most commonly as a sharp or electric shock-like sensation traveling down the back of the leg. Other common symptoms include numbness, tingling, burning, or a pins-and-needles sensation that may cause the leg to feel as though it is falling asleep.
In many cases, a chiropractor can help determine where sciatic pain is originating based on the location, pattern, and quality of the symptoms. Identifying the underlying source of irritation is essential, as effective care focuses on addressing the cause of the pain rather than only managing symptoms.
The exercises on this page are intended to help reduce tension and support mobility for individuals experiencing sciatic or leg pain. When performed appropriately, these movements may help relieve pressure and improve overall function.
Please note that some exercises may temporarily increase discomfort or aggravate certain conditions. If you experience increased pain, sharp symptoms, or worsening sensations while performing any exercise, discontinue immediately and consult a healthcare professional before continuing.
