Sciatica and nerve pain can affect how you move, sit, stand, and stay active. This type of pain often feels different from muscle or joint pain and may change with posture or movement.
At Gold Chiropractic & Sports Recovery, we help patients in Vienna, VA identify the source of nerve-related pain and create a care plan focused on restoring normal movement and function.
​
What Sciatica and Nerve Pain Can Feel Like
​
Sciatica and nerve pain can present in several ways depending on how the nerve is being affected. Some people experience sharp or shooting pain, while others feel aching, tingling, or burning sensations. Symptoms may be constant or intermittent and can worsen with certain movements, positions, or activities.
​
Common Causes of Sciatica and Nerve Pain
​
Nerve pain often develops when surrounding joints, discs, or soft tissues place stress on nearby nerves. This can occur due to repetitive strain, poor posture, movement restrictions, or injuries. In active adults, nerve irritation may also be linked to training habits, lifting mechanics, or prolonged sitting.
​
Movement and Posture-Related Nerve Pain
​
Changes in posture or movement patterns can significantly influence nerve-related symptoms. Restricted spinal motion, muscular imbalance, or improper movement mechanics may increase nerve sensitivity. Addressing these factors is an important part of reducing irritation and supporting long-term improvement.
​
Our Approach to Sciatica and Nerve Pain Care
​
Dr. Douglas Gold takes a whole-body approach to sciatica and nerve pain treatment by evaluating spinal motion, joint function, soft tissue health, and movement patterns. Care focuses on reducing mechanical stress on the nervous system and improving mobility rather than only managing symptoms.
Treatment plans are customized to each patient’s activity level and goals.
