What is Sciatica: Overview and Causes
Sciatica refers to radiating pain that originates in the lower back or buttocks and travels down the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs down the back of each leg. It differs from general leg or back pain because the pain follows the sciatic nerve pathway.
Some common symptoms of sciatica include:
- Sharp, burning, tingling, or throbbing pain in the buttocks, back of thighs, calves, and feet
- Numbness or muscle weakness along the nerve pathway
- Difficulty moving the leg or foot
- Constant pain that worsens with certain activities
Sciatica occurs when something compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve roots. Some of the most common causes include:
- Herniated (slipped) disc in the lower spine
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebral misalignment)
- Piriformis syndrome
- Muscle tension/imbalance
- Injury or trauma
Proper diagnosis is key to identifying the root cause of sciatic pain. At Spinal Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, our chiropractors conduct a thorough assessment using diagnostic tools and nerve conduction tests. We pinpoint the origin of the nerve compression so we can target treatment correctly.

Our Comprehensive Sciatica Treatments
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle chiropractic adjustments are highly effective for treating sciatica caused by vertebral misalignments or disc-related issues. Our chiropractor uses hands-on techniques to improve spinal mobility and take pressure off the compressed sciatic nerve.
We use diversified, Thompson, and Activator Methods based on your needs. Chiropractic care reduces inflammation, eases muscle spasms, improves range of motion, and stimulates healing. It brings fast relief by realigning the spine.
Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, drug-free treatment that creates negative pressure in the disc to pull bulging or herniated disc material back into place. This immediately decompresses the sciatic nerve and reduces inflammation.
We utilize the advanced DRX9000 Spinal Decompression table system to gently stretch and re-hydrate damaged discs. The treatment is completely customized and tailored to your diagnostic results. It’s even safe for patients with metal implants.
Spinal decompression therapy gives long-lasting relief by actively correcting disc problems irritating the sciatic nerve. Patients see a high success rate.
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapist uses exercises, stretches, and other techniques to reduce tension in the piriformis muscle, hamstrings, IT band, and hip flexors. This alleviates compression on the sciatic nerve.
We also focus on core strengthening, stability exercises, and postural correction to provide functional, lasting pain relief. Our customized exercise programs retrain proper movement patterns. This prevents future sciatic flare-ups.
Ergonomic Modifications
Our health experts provide guidance on modifying your daily workstation, driving position, sleeping postures, and household ergonomics to reduce sciatic and low back pain flare-ups. This proactive approach prevents future nerve irritation.
Lifestyle Coaching
We help patients modify lifestyle risk factors that can worsen sciatica pain and prolong recovery. This includes proper nutrition, weight management, sleep hygiene, stress reduction, and quitting smoking. Healthy living complements your treatment plan.
