CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR SCIATICA
Sciatica treatment through chiropractic care focuses on addressing nerve compression and underlying spinal issues that cause radiating leg pain. Chiropractors utilize targeted spinal adjustments to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, often combining these with spinal decompression therapy and soft tissue techniques. Treatment plans typically include specific exercises to strengthen core muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance spinal stability.
Most patients experience significant pain reduction and improved mobility through consistent chiropractic care, which addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term prevention of sciatic nerve irritation. Regular adjustments help maintain proper spine alignment and prevent future episodes, while patient education on posture and body mechanics supports lasting relief.
OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT
Most people try to deal with their sciatica using prescription or over-the-counter drugs. This may help to relieve the symptoms in the short-term, but not only are patients dealing with side effects, the underlying issue goes unaddressed.
Chiropractic treatment is a natural practice that addresses the structural cause that leads to the majority of sciatica. Following a thorough chiropractic assessment aimed at ruling out other issues and finding the exact source of the problem, a personalized recovery plan is developed. Gentle adjustments to the spine can bring instant relief and restore long term health to the lower back and the entire body. Call our team at Integrated Medical Group today to set up a consultation and bring an end to the pain.

SCIATICA FACTS
Sciatica is a symptom of an underlying medical condition. The term describes the pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that starts in the lower back and moves to the large sciatic nerve located in either leg.
The most common causes of sciatica are alumbar herniated disc, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis.
For adults over 60, degenerative changes in the spine like lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis are the typical culprits.
Over time, sciatica can cause permanent or long-term nerve damage.This can result in chronic numbness, tingling, loss of feeling, or pain. This happens most often when the patient is aware of a problem for a very long time, but for whatever reason, does not seek treatment.
Your underlying condition helps determine the treatment plan. This is why we do a thorough examination to determine the root cause. Treatment options will include chiropractic care, stretches, exercises / rehab along with other conservative modalities.
