Sciatica is pain, numbness or tingling that travels from the lower back or buttock down the leg. It is often related to irritation of the sciatic nerve from a disc problem, tight muscles, or joint dysfunction in the lower back and pelvis.

How we approach sciatica
Every new patient gets a thorough exam first. We listen to your history, look at how you move, and review any prior imaging or test results you bring. Then we explain what we found and recommend treatment, or a referral if chiropractic isn’t the right fit.
We start by finding where the irritation is coming from. Care may include gentle adjusting, Cox traction decompression, traction, electric stimulation and targeted home exercises. If your symptoms point to something that needs another specialist or advanced imaging, we’ll refer you.
