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.

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.

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.
