Sciatica and Nerve Pain
Numbness, tingling, burning pain, or even weakness in the limbs — these symptoms can be frustrating, painful, and often overwhelming. Whether it’s sciatica, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, or other nerve-related conditions, they all share one critical factor in common: dysfunction within the central nervous system (CNS). This includes the brain, spinal cord, and the spinal nerve roots.
At the core of these problems is often irritation, interference, or pressure on nervous system tissue. This can come from a range of causes — from a disc bulge or subtle spinal misalignment to inflammation following injury (such as whiplash) or chronic poor posture. Muscle tension, nutritional imbalances, or even poor hydration can further contribute to nerve dysfunction, impacting your comfort and quality of life.
One of the most common nerve issues we see is sciatica — characterised by pain, pins and needles, or numbness radiating from the lower back down into the buttock, leg, and foot. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, and its dysfunction can lead to sharp or shooting pain, tight hamstrings, muscle weakness, or a sense of instability. Likewise, nerve symptoms in the arms and hands — such as carpal tunnel — often trace back to dysfunction in the spine.
That’s why assessing the spine is a key part of our approach to nerve pain. Every nerve in your body travels through the spine to reach the brain, so even seemingly unrelated symptoms can often be traced to spinal dysfunction.
