In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often resulting from a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Chiropractic treatment for sciatica may include spinal adjustments to reduce nerve compression, spinal decompression therapy to create space for the affected nerve root, and soft tissue techniques to release tight muscles in the lower back and glutes. Treatment plans are individualized based on the underlying cause and severity of the patient's symptoms, and they may also incorporate ice or heat therapy, stretching exercises, and ergonomic advice. Most patients experience significant improvement within a few weeks of consistent chiropractic care. Chiropractors work to address the root cause of sciatica rather than simply masking pain symptoms.
