Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, running from your lower back to your knee, is irritated or compressed. This activates the nerve, causing pain anywhere along its path. It is estimated that around 40% of people will experience sciatica during their lifetime.

Sciatic pain normally affects only one side of the body and can vary from mild and infrequent irritation to severe and debilitating pain. An assessment with an experienced physical therapist is typically required to provide an accurate diagnosis, as sciatica is often confused with simple back or hip pain from other causes.

Around 80% of people will suffer from neck pain at one point in their life. It can develop through injury, or over time, as a result of poor posture, wear and tear, or uncomfortable sleeping positions.

Neck pain occurs when there is an issue in the cervical spine. Typically, this is when one of the ligaments, muscles or tendons is strained or sprained by overuse or overextension.

Back pain is more common than you’d think, with recent data showing that 80% of the nation will experience back pain at some point in their lifetime.

At Hutchinson Health, we understand the role of pain and inflammatory medications but believe they should not be your first choice. Painkillers offer only temporary relief and can have side effects, including stomach irritation and potential addiction. Surgery, while necessary in some cases, should always be the last resort due to its risks and should be coupled with chiropractic rehabilitation for optimal recovery.
