Sciatica Pain Relief in Fargo
Low back pain, radiating pain going into the glute or down the leg, which can travel to the knee or to the foot. Pins and needles. Numbness. These are some common symptoms of sciatica, which is a very debilitating type of pain.
For those suffering from sciatica, it makes even the simplest actions uncomfortable. Things like sitting, lying down, putting on socks and shoes, and getting dressed are very difficult. It’s also challenging to find a comfortable position, and almost every activity of daily living is hard.

What Are the Causes?
Pelvic misalignments are major causes of sciatica, especially when you’re looking down at the sacrum in the piriformis. When the pelvis gets restricted, it doesn’t allow things to move properly; it causes muscles to overcompensate and put pressure on nerves that shouldn’t have pressure on them. Then in return, that triggers the sciatic nerve.
Our Approach to Care
At Fargo Moorhead Chiropractic and Wellness, we treat sciatica through chiropractic adjustments and some soft tissue work of the glutes and the piriformis. We also give stretches that patients can do at home to help relieve the tightness in the hamstrings, as they usually get extremely tight and “angry.” Getting the pelvis moving properly will help take the pressure off that sciatic nerve.
A Patient Success Story
One of our patients is a woman pregnant with her second child. With her first one, she had terrible debilitating sciatica, and it was difficult for her to sleep at night and get dressed. This patient knew the second time she got pregnant, she didn’t want to go through the same thing. So she started chiropractic care to prevent sciatica, and she is into her third trimester and hasn’t had any sciatica.
