A bulging or herniated disc at L4\/L5 or L5\/S1 presses on the nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve. Pain typically runs from the lower back through the buttock and down the back of the leg. Often triggered by bending, lifting, or prolonged sitting.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Often mistaken for<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237] mb-4\">General lower back strain or hip joint problems.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Chiropractic response<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237]\">Highly treatable.

When this muscle is tight or in spasm, it compresses the nerve and produces sciatica-like symptoms without any disc involvement. A commonly overlooked cause of persistent buttock and leg pain.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Often mistaken for<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237] mb-4\">True disc herniation or hip bursitis.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Chiropractic response<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237]\">Responds well to targeted soft tissue work on the piriformis and gluteal muscles, combined with lumbar joint mobilisation.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"bg-white rounded-3xl p-8 shadow-sm border border-[#f0ede9]\">\r\n <div class=\"w-10 h-10 rounded-full bg-[#ed6d1d] flex items-center justify-center mb-5 mx-auto lg:mx-0\">\r\n <span class=\"text-white font-bold text-lg\">3<\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3\">Lumbar spinal stenosis<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237] leading-relaxed mb-4\">Narrowing of the spinal canal or the nerve exit channels in the lower back, compressing one or more nerve roots. More common in people over 50. Symptoms often include leg pain or heaviness that appears when standing and walking but eases when sitting or bending forward.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Often mistaken for<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237] mb-4\">Peripheral vascular disease or hip arthritis.<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-xs font-semibold text-[#ed6d1d] uppercase tracking-wide mb-1\">Chiropractic response<\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-sm text-[#584237]\">Chiropractic care and lumbar decompression can reduce nerve compression and improve function.

The most common causes we identify and treat at our Culemborg practice include:<\/p>\r\n <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6\">\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Lumbar disc herniation<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The most common cause of sciatica. A bulging or herniated disc at L4\/L5 or L5\/S1 presses on the nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve. Even a small disc bulge can cause significant nerve irritation, producing shooting pain, numbness, or weakness down the leg.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Piriformis syndrome<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The sciatic nerve passes directly beneath, or in some people through, the piriformis muscle in the buttock. Tightness or spasm in this muscle can mimic true disc-origin sciatica and is often overlooked as a cause of persistent buttock and leg pain.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Lumbar spinal stenosis<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Age-related narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve exit channels can compress lumbar nerve roots and produce sciatica symptoms, particularly in people over 50. Often associated with leg pain or heaviness that appears when walking and eases with rest or bending forward.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Sacroiliac joint dysfunction<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The sacroiliac joint connects the pelvis to the base of the spine. When this joint is restricted or inflamed, it can irritate the S1 nerve root and produce pain and tingling down the back of the leg that closely resembles true sciatica.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Prolonged sitting and poor lumbar posture<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Sustained compression of the lumbar spine from poor posture, long hours at a desk, or heavy lifting over time overloads the lumbar discs and surrounding nerve structures. A common factor in desk workers, drivers, and manual labourers who develop sciatica gradually.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Old back injuries and surgery<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">A previous lumbar injury, disc surgery, or period of prolonged bed rest can alter the mechanics of the lumbar spine, increasing load on certain discs and joints. Sciatica appearing years after a back injury is common, and the connection is often not made by the patient.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"py-20 px-6 bg-[#f0f4fa]\">\r\n <div class=\"max-w-7xl mx-auto\">\r\n <div class=\"text-center mb-4\">\r\n <h2 class=\"font-headline text-3xl lg:text-4xl font-bold\">How we treat sciatica at <a href=\"\/en\/locations\/chiropractie-rivierenland-culemborg\/\" class=\"font-bold text-[#ed6d1d] hover:underline\">Waterland Chiropractie Culemborg<\/a><\/h2>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <p class=\"text-center text-[#584237] mb-14 max-w-2xl mx-auto\">At our Culemborg practice on the Varkensmarkt, we look beyond the leg pain to find what's causing it.

By gently reducing pressure on compressed lumbar discs and nerve roots, it addresses the structural cause of sciatica originating from the L4, L5, or S1 discs.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed mb-8\">\r\n For lumbar sciatica, the goal is to reduce pressure on the affected nerve root and allow the disc to rehydrate and return toward its normal position. Sessions are comfortable: you lie still throughout, and the traction is computer-controlled and precise.

Acute sciatica from a disc herniation often responds within 4 to 6 sessions. Chronic or recurring sciatica, or cases involving stenosis, may require a longer initial course of care followed by periodic maintenance. We'll outline a clear treatment plan after your first examination.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">Is chiropractic treatment for sciatica safe?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Yes. Chiropractic care for sciatica is one of the safest non-surgical options available. Our chiropractors are DCF, CCA, and SNRC registered, meaning they've completed a minimum of 5 years of university-level training and work within strict professional guidelines.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">Can a chiropractor help with a herniated disc?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Yes, in many cases. Chiropractic adjustments and lumbar decompression can reduce the pressure a herniated disc places on a nerve root, allowing the disc to heal and the nerve irritation to resolve.

Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg, often following a specific path determined by which nerve root is affected. The key distinction is the leg component: numbness, tingling, burning, or shooting pain that extends below the knee is typically sciatica. It's possible to have both at the same time.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">What should I wear to my appointment?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that gives easy access to the lower back and hips.

The most common causes we identify and treat at our Culemborg practice include:<\/p>\r\n <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-6\">\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Lumbar disc herniation<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The most common cause of sciatica. A bulging or herniated disc at L4\/L5 or L5\/S1 presses on the nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve. Even a small disc bulge can cause significant nerve irritation, producing shooting pain, numbness, or weakness down the leg.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Piriformis syndrome<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The sciatic nerve passes directly beneath, or in some people through, the piriformis muscle in the buttock. Tightness or spasm in this muscle can mimic true disc-origin sciatica and is often overlooked as a cause of persistent buttock and leg pain.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Lumbar spinal stenosis<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Age-related narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve exit channels can compress lumbar nerve roots and produce sciatica symptoms, particularly in people over 50. Often associated with leg pain or heaviness that appears when walking and eases with rest or bending forward.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Sacroiliac joint dysfunction<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">The sacroiliac joint connects the pelvis to the base of the spine. When this joint is restricted or inflamed, it can irritate the S1 nerve root and produce pain and tingling down the back of the leg that closely resembles true sciatica.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Prolonged sitting and poor lumbar posture<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Sustained compression of the lumbar spine from poor posture, long hours at a desk, or heavy lifting over time overloads the lumbar discs and surrounding nerve structures. A common factor in desk workers, drivers, and manual labourers who develop sciatica gradually.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"p-8 bg-[#f0f4fa] rounded-[20px] border-l-[5px] border-[#ed6d1d] hover:shadow-md transition-shadow\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline text-xl font-bold mb-3 text-[#171c21]\">Old back injuries and surgery<\/h3>\r\n <p class=\"text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">A previous lumbar injury, disc surgery, or period of prolonged bed rest can alter the mechanics of the lumbar spine, increasing load on certain discs and joints.

You can book your first appointment directly, without seeing your GP first. Chiropractic care is recognised as a primary healthcare profession in the Netherlands.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">How many treatments will I need for sciatica?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">This depends on the cause and how long you've had the symptoms. Acute sciatica from a disc herniation often responds within 4 to 6 sessions. Chronic or recurring sciatica, or cases involving stenosis, may require a longer initial course of care followed by periodic maintenance. We'll outline a clear treatment plan after your first examination.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">Is chiropractic treatment for sciatica safe?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Yes. Chiropractic care for sciatica is one of the safest non-surgical options available. Our chiropractors are DCF, CCA, and SNRC registered, meaning they've completed a minimum of 5 years of university-level training and work within strict professional guidelines.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">Can a chiropractor help with a herniated disc?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Yes, in many cases. Chiropractic adjustments and lumbar decompression can reduce the pressure a herniated disc places on a nerve root, allowing the disc to heal and the nerve irritation to resolve. We assess the extent and direction of the disc involvement during your first examination and adapt the treatment approach accordingly.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">What is the difference between sciatica and lower back pain?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\"><a href=\"\/en\/locations\/chiropractie-rivierenland-culemborg\/back-pain\/\" class=\"underline hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors\">Lower back pain<\/a> is pain that stays in the back. Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg, often following a specific path determined by which nerve root is affected. The key distinction is the leg component: numbness, tingling, burning, or shooting pain that extends below the knee is typically sciatica. It's possible to have both at the same time.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n\r\n <details class=\"bg-white rounded-[20px] p-6 shadow-sm group\">\r\n <summary class=\"flex justify-between items-center cursor-pointer list-none\">\r\n <h3 class=\"font-headline font-bold text-xl group-hover:text-[#ed6d1d] transition-colors pr-4\">What should I wear to my appointment?<\/h3>\r\n <span class=\"material-symbols-outlined text-[#ed6d1d] flex-shrink-0\">add<\/span>\r\n <\/summary>\r\n <p class=\"mt-4 text-[#584237] leading-relaxed\">Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that gives easy access to the lower back and hips.
