Sciatica
Burning, shooting, or aching pain down the leg from a pinched nerve in the lower back — relieved with targeted, conservative care.
What's actually happening
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Something — most often a disc, a tight piriformis, or a stenosed joint — is irritating the sciatic nerve where it exits the spine. Find the source, and the symptoms calm down.
How we treat it
We map the exact pattern of your symptoms during the exam, then combine gentle adjustments to take pressure off the involved nerve root, soft-tissue work to release the muscles guarding around it, and movement therapy to keep it from coming back.
When to come in
Sooner is better. Sciatica that's chased with rest and ibuprofen for weeks often becomes a longer recovery than one we catch in the first few days.
