Chiropractic Care for Sciatica — Natural Relief & Lasting Results
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to nerve pain that originates in the lower back or buttocks and radiates down the leg, often due to a herniated disc pressing on a nerve root—prevalent in up to 90% of cases. Other potential causes include spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, or piriformis syndrome.
Though many cases resolve within six weeks with conservative care, persistent or severe symptoms may require intervention.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica
- Spinal Manipulation to Relieve Nerve Pressure
Clinical trials show active spinal manipulation significantly outperforms simulated treatment in reducing pain and improving outcomes in sciatica involving disc protrusion. - Effective, Drug-Free Pain Management
Chiropractic care is widely regarded as a safe, natural approach to sciatica treatment—helping patients avoid medications and invasive procedures. - Strong Clinical Outcomes
One trial reported a 72% success rate using chiropractic treatments, such as manipulation, stretching, and exercise. - Safe Early Relief
Chiropractors can often alleviate sciatica symptoms within just a few sessions—especially when treatment starts early. - Promotes Long-Term Prevention
Chiropractic care helps not only with symptoms but also supports spine mobility, reduces inflammation, and encourages long-term spinal health and self-care strategies.
