Award Winning Sciatica Care
Why Sciatica Keeps Coming Back
Sciatica is not really a back problem. It is a nerve problem that starts in your back. The sciatic nerve runs from your lower spine through the hip and down each leg, so when something presses on it or inflames it, the pain shows up far from the cause.
That is why the heat pack helps for an hour and the stretches help for a week. They treat where it hurts, not where it starts.
It is also why so many patients tell us the pain moved. From the back to the hip, then down the leg, and nobody explained what changed.

Hear Directly from Our Satisfied Patients
Do you feel a painful sharp sensation in your lower back or glutes? Is the pain going down your leg? Is your foot numb or tingling?
If you feel any of that, you’re in the right place to get help for Sciatica!
Sciatica is pain caused by irritation and compression on the sciatic nerve. It feels like a burning or shooting pain down the leg. Or, some describe it as a stabbing pain in the butt.
As time goes on and the pain gets worse, it can become more difficult to get relief.
When the pain is severe and all else has failed, patients come to us for effective sciatic nerve pain treatment.

What to Expect
Quick & Painless
Treatment in our clinic is quick and painless. Sessions typically last about 30 minutes, and most patients are in and out without disrupting the rest of their day.
Treatment Course
How much treatment you need depends on how long you have had the pain and what is driving it. That is determined after a detailed evaluation during your consultation.
The Process
Treatments are usually scheduled 2 to 4 times per week at the start, then taper as you improve. Once you reach the results we have been working toward, a maintenance plan, often 1 to 2 sessions per month, helps hold the ground you have gained.
What Patients Tell Us
Sitting through a drive without shifting. Standing up from a chair without bracing. Sleeping on the side that used to be impossible. What your own course looks like is something we will be straight with you about at the consultation.
