A member asked:

Can sciatica effect both legs? my chiropractor says i'm very out of alignment and i was in agony with one leg and now it's in the other

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncertain it is you: Yes, sciatica can occur in both legs. It is not certain this is your diagnosis, all we know is that you have pain in both legs and your chiropractor thinks you are out of alignment.
