Sciatica Relief in Markham
Relief from Sciatic Nerve Pain Through Chiropractic Care
Your body’s sciatic nerve is remarkable—it’s the longest nerve you have, beginning in your lower back and running down through each leg all the way to your feet. When problems develop with this nerve, the condition known as sciatica can cause significant pain and disruption to your life.
The Importance of Addressing Sciatica
While sciatic nerve pain may appear and disappear over time, active episodes can be debilitating. Left untreated, continuing nerve irritation risks causing irreversible nerve damage. That’s why professional evaluation and treatment are so important when sciatica becomes problematic.

We’ve spent 20 years helping patients find freedom from sciatica. We’d be honored to explore whether our approach can work for you too.
How to Recognize Sciatica
Sciatic nerve issues create distinctive symptoms that differ from general back pain:
- Intense, burning pain that travels along the leg
- Prickling sensations in your glutes and down the back of your leg
- Pain that shoots from your lumbar region into your buttocks
- Challenges when moving from seated to upright positions
- Weakness or numbness following the nerve’s path
What Triggers Sciatic Nerve Pain?
Daily Life Factors:
Compression of your lower back vertebrae can pinch and irritate the sciatic nerve roots, creating the characteristic pain and dysfunction. Your work environment, family responsibilities, and lifestyle patterns can combine to create conditions where sciatica thrives:
- Extended periods of sitting, whether traveling or at your desk
- Suboptimal posture throughout the day
- Injuries from repetitive movements
- Previous trauma from weightlifting, sudden movements, sports injuries, or accidents
Physical and Structural Issues:
Disc problems commonly trigger sciatic symptoms because disc material can impinge on the nerve root. Sometimes these issues arise from circumstances outside your control:
- Spinal alignment problems from posture, pregnancy, or trauma
- Slipped or protruding discs
- Tight muscles that compress nerve pathways
- Structural changes from aging or injury
