How Our Team Will Help You Overcome Sciatica

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to sciatica pain, so we create a treatment plan based on your body and your goals. By combining gentle, progressive therapies, we calm inflammation, improve movement, and support long-term healing.

Chiropractic Care

Misalignment in the spine can pinch the sciatic nerve and trigger pain that radiates down your leg. With precise spinal adjustments, we restore proper alignment so your body can move freely and heal naturally.

Massage Therapy

Tight muscles in the lower back, hips, and glutes can add pressure to the sciatic nerve. Therapeutic massage releases muscle tension and improves circulation to relieve pain and stiffness.

Ultrasound Therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reach deep into the tissues around your sciatic nerve. This breaks up inflammation, improves blood flow, and speeds up your recovery between visits.

Lifestyle Changes

We empower you with lifestyle advice and exercises that support long-term relief. You’ll learn simple stretches, ergonomic tips, and daily movement strategies to prevent future flare-ups and protect your spine.

Common Concerns, Honest Answers

Who should see a chiropractor for sciatica?

If you’re experiencing sharp pain down your leg, tingling, numbness, or lower back pain that won’t go away, chiropractic care may help. Anyone struggling with nerve pain from a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tension can benefit from treatment.

What are common causes of sciatica?

Sciatica often occurs when a bulging disc or vertebra irritates the sciatic nerve. It can also be triggered by muscle tightness, sitting too long, repetitive strain, or injury from lifting, sports, or car accidents.

When can I expect relief from pain after treatment?

Some patients feel relief after their first few visits, while others improve steadily over several weeks. Your timeline depends on how long you’ve been in pain and the way your body responds to care.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, and we’re happy to verify your benefits before your first visit. We also offer flexible payment options for patients without insurance.

How much does sciatica treatment cost?

Pricing varies based on your treatment plan and insurance coverage. We’ll discuss costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
