Chiropractic Care For Sciatic Pain
Pain traveling down the sciatic nerve pathway characterizes sciatica. The pain usually starts from the lower back, passes through the hips and buttocks, and extends down the leg. Herniated discs, bone overgrowth, or inflamed nerves cause this condition, leading to numbness and throbbing pain in the affected leg.
Most cases of sciatic pain respond well to treatment within a few weeks. If the pain is severe and if significant leg weakness or changes in bowel or bladder function accompany it, the patient may require surgery. It’s important to note that sciatica is not a standalone condition but rather a symptom of an underlying problem affecting the sciatic nerve.
Advantage Chiropractic in New Berlin specializes in providing chiropractic care to individuals experiencing sciatic nerve pain. Our skilled chiropractors use the Torque Release Technique, a highly effective approach for treating and managing sciatic back pain. We aim to alleviate pain, promote recovery, and help individuals improve their quality of life.

sonji rice2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really think Dr. Evans and Dr. Taylor are wonderful at what they do! During my first appointment, Melissa made me feel at ease while she asked a few questions and took my x-rays. Dr. Evans then went through my x-rays with me and explained everything really well, which I appreciated so much. I’ve also seen Dr. Taylor a couple of times for adjustments, and he’s always been so professional and friendly! The only downside is that their practice is a bit far from my home, making it tough for me to go regularly right now. But I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great care!

Great place to go for Chiropractic help as well as Neuropathy concerns!! 😊💖 Kathy Bruening2025-01-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been receiving services at Advantage Chiropractic for a while now. I am getting more comfortable with the process. The services have been helpful and have made a difference. The Chiropractors and staff members are always pleasant, which is a plus. Brian Brandolino2025-01-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didn't realize how out of whack by shoulders and back had become thru years of sports, sport related injuries and simply by being older. After a few months of careful attention by the doctors and staff, I steadily gained back flexibility and most importantly decreased the level of pain and soreness in my joints. I wish when I was younger, we didn't just rub dirt on it, but instead had some intelligent therapy to treat injuries and bounce back better. Cathy Schultz2024-12-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone in the office is so professional and friendly. If you need to change an appointment, or have a specific area of pain to address, the 3 office staff ladies or the 2 friendly, knowledgeable chiropractors will listen, and do their best to help you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this chiropractor as someone who can help with body pain including neuropathy. As someone who has been described as a complex case of neuropathy to solve, I have gladly welcomed them to my team. Adalis Rivera2024-12-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Advantage Chiropractic for about 3 months now and the change in my health and body is awesome! I can now sleep well, I have less stomach issues and no longer have excruciating pain/discomfort in my shoulder. I was a bit skeptical starting out but these adjustments are obviously working. The staff is so nice and organized. I recommend anyone who prioritizes their health to visit and get a free consultation as soon as possible. Thank you Advantage Chiropractic!!! Salinas Angels2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hello reviewer, I saw a commercial that emphasized non-surgical help with issues I've been experiencing the past couple of years. I went in for an evaluation/assessment with x-rays and a gadget to measure nerve damage, and only paid $49.00 for that exam. I found out I had nerve damage in both of my lower legs and feet. We discussed a plan, and I felt hopeful. My health insurance paid about one third of the cost for this particular plan, and I paid out-of-pocket for the balance. They do have a partnership with a health care financial center (i.e., requires a hard credit check) that will finance the balance with 0% interest which was helpful. I've been getting neuropathy therapy since September, and my feet are feeling better with less pain. I sleep better, and fall asleep easier and quicker, and sleep throughout the night now. I appear to have more energy. In addition, I have equipment that was included with the therapy plan fees that I can use at home, and this has been helpful, too. They also provide handouts with different exercises to do from home, along with a protein powder to help with healthy bones. I go into the office twice a week to get adjustments on my spinal cord to improve my central nervous system which impacts my overall health status. The numbness in my lower legs have improved. I am having issues with my left heel now which they are addressing as well. The staff are polite and we are always welcomed with a kind smile, and thoughtful words of greeting. The chiropractors are friendly, professional in nature, and they listen to our needs. The ambiance has good vibes and a nice zen to it. The background music is soothing and appropriate for this type of health care facility. I keep in mind that the doctors can only do so much, and it is up to us to follow their implemented plan in order to get the results desired (i.e., pain free & improved nerves). I am grateful thus far, for giving this business a chance to help me feel better. Reducing my pain and maintaining a healthy central nervous system and keeping my legs strong and healthy as I continue to mature in age, is totally worth the investment! Yes, it is an investment and I desire to maintain my ability to stand and walk all the days of my life. Thank you Advantage Chiropractic in New Berlin, WI. G. Salinas
Our Approach to Sciatica Treatment
Our clinic has a unique method for treating sciatic pain, focusing on the patient’s needs. We use the Torque Release Technique (TRT), a gentle and non-invasive approach that targets the underlying causes of sciatica. This technique is backed up by holistic practices, ensuring you receive a comprehensive treatment plan personalized to your needs.
Torque Release Technique (TRT) for Sciatica:
- Targeted and Gentle: TRT is highly effective for treating sciatica as it targets the specific spinal segments and nerves affected by sciatic pain. Additionally, its gentle nature ensures a comfortable experience for patients.
- Promotes Natural Healing: TRT facilitates the body’s natural healing mechanisms by realigning the spine and reducing nerve compression, offering long-term relief from lower back nerve pain.
- Prioritizes Patient Comfort: Our focus on patient comfort and safety makes TRT an ideal choice for those seeking a non-invasive solution to sciatic pain.
- Addresses a Range of Sciatica Symptoms: TRT has been shown to effectively alleviate various lumbar sciatic symptoms, including lower back pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs.
Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica is often the result of our daily habits and physical health. Our modern lifestyle, which involves prolonged sitting and poor posture, can increase pressure on the sciatic nerve. Besides, physical conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis can also lead to nerve pain. At Advantage Chiropractic, we perform a thorough assessment to determine the underlying causes of your sciatica and create a personalized treatment plan that ensures effective relief and long-term wellness.
Sciatica Conditions We Treat
We specialize in personalized treatment for various sciatica conditions, taking into account the complexity of pain to find the best relief for each individual.
Herniated Disc-Induced Sciatica
Sciatica is a common condition often resulting from a herniated disc in the lower spine. This condition occurs when the soft inner material of a disc protrudes through a crack in its tough outer coating, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. This pressure can cause a sharp pain that shoots through the buttocks and down the leg, often accompanied by numbness or tingling. At Advantage Chiropractic, we use the Torque Release Technique (TRT) to realign the spine and relieve nerve pressure. Our approach not only alleviates the immediate pain but also helps to prevent future herniation and sciatic flare-ups.
Spinal Stenosis-Related Sciatica
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of spaces within the spine that can cause sciatic nerve compression, leading to sciatica. This condition is more prevalent in older adults and can cause leg pain, numbness, or muscle weakness. Our chiropractic treatment for spinal stenosis involves a careful spinal adjustment technique that works to widen the narrowed spinal spaces, thus relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve. The specific exercises we designed complement our approach by maintaining spinal health and preventing the recurrence of symptoms.
Piriformis Syndrome as a Cause of Sciatica
Piriformis syndrome is where the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, spasms and puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. This condition can lead to discomfort and numbness in the buttocks and along the sciatic nerve path. Our chiropractors specialize in targeted techniques to relax and lengthen the piriformis muscle, which can help alleviate the pressure on the sciatic nerve. We also guide specific stretches and exercises to maintain the relaxation of the piriformis muscle and prevent future occurrences of piriformis syndrome.
Sciatica from Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Dysfunction in the sacroiliac joint, which connects the lower spine to the pelvis, can cause pain in the lower back and legs, similar to sciatic nerve irritation. At our chiropractic clinic, we provide care that includes adjustments to correct the alignment of the sacroiliac joint, thus alleviating the pain. Additionally, we focus on strengthening exercises for the pelvic and lower back muscles to stabilize the sacroiliac joint and reduce the risk of future dysfunction.
Pregnancy-Related Sciatica
Pregnancy can cause sciatica in women due to the growing uterus and changes in posture, which increases pressure on the sciatic nerve. We understand the unique challenges of this time and provide specialized prenatal chiropractic care to address sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy safely. Our approach focuses on gently reducing pressure and maintaining proper spinal alignment to ensure the safety and comfort of expectant mothers. With our expert care, we aim to alleviate the discomfort of pregnancy-related sciatica, making this critical time as comfortable as possible for our patients.
