Many times people will have back pain with sciatica and sometimes just sciatica with no back pain. There are many causes. Disc problems, spinal subluxations, and piriformis issues.
The piriformis is a muscle in the pelvis that supports the sacrum, sacroiliac joint and hip. The sciatic nerve passes through this muscle. If Sciatica exists without back pain then the sacroiliac joint may be stuck in movement and the piriformis muscle is tight pressing on the sciatic nerve. Symptoms such as leg pain, inability to walk, and climbing stairs are but a few.
Chiropractic adjustments to the sacroiliac joint and muscle work to the piriformis will solve the problem.
