Treatment Options
Care We Use for Sciatica
How Do I Know if My Leg Pain Is Sciatica?
Sciatica usually affects one side and runs below the knee. An exam will tell us where the nerve is irritated and why.
Is a Chiropractor Recommended for Sciatica?
For many people, yes. Sciatica often comes from a disc or tight muscles pressing on the sciatic nerve, and chiropractic care with rehab aims to relieve that pressure. See a medical doctor right away for leg weakness that gets worse or loss of bladder or bowel control.
What Is the Worst Thing You Can Do for Sciatica?
Staying in bed for days. Long rest tends to stiffen the back and slow healing. Gentle walking, changing positions often and avoiding heavy lifting usually help more.
