Sciatica can be more than just a pain in the leg—it can disrupt your entire life. This condition, caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often leads to radiating pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from your lower back down to your legs. The discomfort can make simple tasks like walking, sitting, or even standing feel unbearable. The good news? Chiropractic care offers effective, non-invasive solutions to address the root cause of sciatica and bring lasting relief.
One of my patients, Tom, came to us after struggling with sciatic pain for months. “I couldn’t even tie my shoes without sharp pain shooting down my leg,” he told me. After an initial evaluation, we identified misalignment in his lower spine and tightness in his hip muscles contributing to the nerve compression. Using gentle adjustments, targeted physical therapy exercises, and cold laser therapy for inflammation, Tom experienced a significant reduction in pain. “I feel like I have my freedom back,” he shared after returning to his daily walks.
Chiropractic care for sciatica focuses on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve by addressing misalignments in the spine and pelvis. Adjustments help improve alignment and mobility, while therapies like massage and infrared sauna sessions reduce muscle tension and inflammation. We also incorporate functional movement screenings to identify imbalances and teach stretches and exercises to prevent future flare-ups.
