Lasting Relief from Shooting Pain, Numbness & Tingling Starts Here
Sciatica and nerve impingement can be incredibly disruptive. That sharp, radiating pain down your leg… the numbness in your foot… or the constant burning in your back, it’s not just uncomfortable. It can stop you from working, sleeping, driving, or enjoying everyday life.
At Perfect Posture Chiropractic in Thornhill, we offer safe, non-invasive treatment for sciatica and nerve-related pain using a personalized, hands-on approach. Whether your symptoms are mild or debilitating, we’re here to help you get relief and restore function naturally.
What Is Sciatica and Nerve Impingement?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve (the largest nerve in the body) becomes compressed or irritated, often at the base of the spine. This can result in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back down the buttock and into the leg.
Nerve impingement (also known as nerve compression or pinched nerve) can happen in the neck, mid-back, or lower spine, and cause symptoms to radiate into the arms or legs, depending on the nerve affected.
Common Symptoms We Treat:
- Shooting pain down the leg (often one-sided)
- Numbness or tingling in the foot or toes
- Burning or stabbing sensations in the lower back
- Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing, or
bending - Weakness in the leg or difficulty walking
- Radiating arm pain or numbness (if nerve
impingement is in the neck) - Limited mobility or “locking”
sensations in the spine
What Causes Sciatica and Nerve Impingements?
These conditions are often the result of pressure on spinal nerves caused by:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal Restrictions
- Postural imbalances
- Arthritis or bone spurs
- Muscle tightness or inflammation
- Injury from lifting, sports, or car accidents
If left untreated, nerve pressure can worsen and lead to chronic pain or long-term damage. That’s why early and targeted treatment is so important.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
At Perfect Posture Chiropractic, our goal is to relieve pressure on the affected nerves, improve spinal alignment, and restore your body’s ability to heal. Treatment is always personalized based on the root cause of your nerve compression.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle spinal adjustments help realign the spine, reduce inflammation, and relieve pressure on the nerves. This can lead to significant reductions in pain and improved nerve function.
Spinal Decompression Techniques
We use non-surgical methods to create space between the vertebrae and allow compressed nerves to “breathe” again, especially in cases of disc herniation or bulging.
Soft Tissue and Nerve Release Therapy
Tight muscles and fascia can also contribute to nerve entrapment. Manual therapy helps release tension and restore healthy movement around the affected areas.
Movement Correction and Rehab
We’ll guide you through targeted stretches and strengthening exercises to stabilize your spine and prevent symptoms from returning. Posture and ergonomic coaching are also key parts of care.
