Understanding sciatica
What's going on
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — gets compressed or irritated, usually at the lumbar spine. The result is pain that can travel the full length of the leg, making it difficult to sit, walk, or sleep comfortably. The most effective approach is to relieve the mechanical pressure on the nerve — which is exactly what chiropractic care is designed to do.
Our approach
How Chiropractic Care Treats Sciatica
Our chiropractors identify the exact spinal level where nerve compression is occurring and build a treatment plan to address it. This typically includes lumbar adjustments to restore proper alignment and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, flexion-distraction or spinal decompression for disc-related sciatica, soft tissue therapy for piriformis tightness contributing to nerve compression, and therapeutic modalities to reduce inflammation along the nerve pathway. For stubborn cases, we may add HEIT therapy to support nerve tissue repair at the cellular level. Results vary based on the cause and duration of sciatica, but many patients experience meaningful relief within 4–8 sessions.
Chiropractic care for sciatica may be right for you if you have radiating leg pain, numbness, or tingling from lumbar spine compression, sciatica from disc herniation, piriformis syndrome, or spinal stenosis, or symptoms that persist despite rest, medication, or physical therapy. We accept most major insurance. New patients begin with a full evaluation.
