Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It usually affects only one side of the body.
The pain is often caused by a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine, or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compressing part of the nerve. This can cause inflammation, pain, and often
some numbness in the affected leg.
Symptoms of sciatica can vary but commonly include:
Symptoms often worsen with prolonged sitting, standing, or certain movements.

By combining these comprehensive assessment methods, we ensure that our approach is precise, effective, and aimed at providing lasting relief and improved spinal health.
Chiropractic care for sciatica involves spinal adjustments to alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. By realigning the spine and improving its function, chiropractors aim to reduce pain, inflammation, and nerve irritation. They may also use complementary therapies like stretches, exercises, and heat/cold treatments to enhance recovery and prevent
future issues.
Laser therapy for sciatica uses focused light to penetrate tissues and reduce inflammation, pain, and promote healing. The non-invasive treatment targets the affected area, stimulating cellular repair and increasing blood flow. It can provide relief from sciatica symptoms by reducing nerve irritation and accelerating recovery.
Spinal decompression for sciatica involves using a specialized table to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure in the discs. This helps to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce disc bulging or herniation, and improve spinal alignment. The therapy aims to alleviate pain, promote healing, and restore proper function to the affected area.
