Understanding Sciatica Pain
Sciatica is a sharp pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body. It branches from your lower back, running down through your hips, buttocks, and each leg. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed, typically by a bone spur, herniated disc, or spinal subluxation.
Sciatica pain is often described as a burning, shooting, or electric shock-like sensation, making simple actions like walking or sitting unbearable.
Sciatica Symptoms We Treat
- One-Sided Leg Pain: Constant shooting pain on one side of the buttock, thigh, or leg.

Our Non-Surgical Treatment Approach

- Pelvic & Spinal Adjustments: Realigning the lower spine and sacroiliac (SI) joints to remove pressure from the sciatic nerve root.
- Manual Decompression Therapy: Gently stretching the spine to create space between disc joints, letting the nerve heal naturally.
