Chiropractic Care for
Sciatica
Chronic pain caused by sciatica, though very common, shouldn’t be tolerated. Chiropractic care works to relieve the pain caused by sciatica and can improve your overall wellness naturally. Using non-invasive, safe, and gentle treatments, our doctors work to discover the root cause of your sciatica pain through spinal adjustments that allow the body to return to its normal alignment.
​
Normal alignment of the spine, hips, nerves, etc., allows the connections and signals of the body to flow freely thereby reducing compression and inflammation, and allowing the body to heal naturally.

It is a very common symptom that affects 10% to 40% of the population, typically around the age of 40 years1, and can be caused by underlying medical conditions which can include:
​
-
A Herniated Lumbar Disc - Sometimes called a slipped disk or a ruptured disk and refers to when a disc located between your vertebrae bulges or is ruptured. At times caused by injury such as lifting a heavy object incorrectly, sudden twisting of the spine, etc.
-
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis - The narrowing of one or more spaces within your spine leaving little room for nerves to function correctly and/or causing pinched nerves
-
Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease - General degenerative changes in vertebrae or discs
-
Spondylolisthesis - A condition where one of your vertebrae slips out of place onto the vertebra below it hereby pinching or compressing a nerve
-
Muscle Spasm and/or Inflammation - Spasms or inflammation causing pressure to be placed on the sciatic nerve
-
