Sciatica

It’s not just nerve pain. It’s your body asking for help.

Sciatica isn’t a condition. It’s a symptom. A warning sign that something deeper is going wrong inside your body’s structure.

It happens when the sciatic nerve; one of the largest nerves in your body gets irritated or compressed.

And when it does, it can feel sharp, shooting, burning, tingling, or like an ache that never goes away. It commonly starts in your lower back, travels through your hip or glute, and in some cases, it can shoot down your leg.

For some, it’s a nagging ache. For others, it’s sudden, intense, and impossible to ignore. It can come and go, or stick around for weeks, getting worse over time.

What's really causing your sciatica?

Here are some of the most common reasons that the sciatic nerve gets irritated:

- Disc bulges or herniation
- Spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction
- Compression from surrounding muscles or fascia
- Structural collapse in the lower spine or pelvis
- Previous injuries, falls, or trauma
- Pregnancy-related postural changes

So what can you do?

You can manage the symptoms with stretches, painkillers, or rest, but unless you address what’s pressing on the nerve, the irritation and the pain will keep coming back.

At The Backstory we treat sciatica differently. We don’t just treat the symptoms, we find out what’s really compressing the nerve and treat it at the source. Using Advanced Biostructural Correction™, we help restore your body’s alignment, taking the pressure off the nerve, and finally turn off the alarm.
