Sciatica: Body Imbalance

Spinal injuries, such as trauma from falls, accidents, or improper posture, can lead to misalignments in the upper cervical spine, specifically in the atlas and axis vertebrae. These misalignments, known as upper cervical subluxations, disrupt the alignment of the entire spine and can create a chain reaction of postural imbalances throughout the body. As the body compensates for the misalignment in the upper cervical spine, it often leads to uneven pressure on the lower back, particularly on the sciatic nerve. This imbalance can contribute to nerve irritation or compression in the lower back, resulting in sciatica—characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling that radiates down the legs. By correcting upper cervical subluxations, chiropractic care helps restore proper spinal alignment, reduce body imbalances, and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, helping to relieve sciatica and promote better overall function.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic & Sciatica

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on precisely correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine, particularly the atlas and axis vertebrae, which support the head and protect the brainstem. When these vertebrae shift out of alignment, they can disrupt the body’s balance and posture, creating a compensatory misalignment throughout the entire spine. This misalignment often places pressure on the sciatic nerve, leading to sciatica symptoms, such as pain, numbness, and tingling down the legs. For patients who have not responded to medical treatments or general chiropractic care, upper cervical chiropractic can offer a targeted, gentle approach to realign the upper cervical spine, relieve nerve pressure, and restore proper nervous system function. By addressing the root cause of the imbalance, this method helps to reduce or eliminate sciatica symptoms and improve overall spinal health, offering lasting relief to those previously unresponsive to other treatments.
