What is sciatica?

Sciatica causes pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. At Shasta Health, we bring our care to your home or offer it online. We create a personalized treatment plan to alleviate your pain and improve mobility. Our team teaches you specific exercises to strengthen your core and lower back muscles, as well as stretches to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. We also provide guidance on proper posture and body mechanics to prevent future flare-ups. With our convenient care options, you can manage your sciatica effectively without leaving your home.
