OVERVIEW
ABOUT SCIATICA TREATMENT
Sciatica confuses people because the pain and the problem live in different places. Your leg is burning, but the actual trouble is up in your lower back or pelvis. That's because the sciatic nerve runs the whole route, from the low back through the buttock and down the back of the leg, so irritation up top gets reported the entire way down.

DIAGNOSE
EXAM & IMAGING
We ask what brings it on and what eases it, test your movement, strength, and reflexes, and find which positions reproduce your symptoms. Imaging comes in when it'll change the plan.
TREATMENTS
CUSTOM TREATMENT PROGRAM
We take pressure off the nerve with targeted movement and hands-on work, then build the core and hip strength that keeps your back from loading it again.
FOLLOW UP
WE CALL TO CHECK IN
We track how the leg responds, advance the plan as symptoms ease, and address the daily habits that kept setting it off.

What Are You Experiencing?
You don’t need to know the exact name of what’s going on and most people don’t. What matters is how it feels to you. Use the short form to tell us, even if it’s just “my back hurts when I wake up” or “it feels like a sharp pinch.” Once we see it, we’ll give you a call to talk things over and figure out some next steps together.
LOW HIGH
SEVERE PAIN
If the pain is so bad you can’t think straight, please stop here and call 911 or go to the hospital. Getting safe is the first step. When you’re ready afterward, we’ll be here to talk about longer-term help.
MODERATE PAIN / DISCOMFORT
This kind of pain might not knock you down, but it makes life harder than it should be. Maybe it’s a stabbing pain when you move a certain way, or maybe it’s a dull ache that just won’t quit. Write it down as best you can. That’s all we need to get started.
MINOR PAINS & ACHES
Little things add up, too. A stiff neck, sore knees, or that nagging twinge you keep brushing off all matter. Share what you’ve been noticing, and we’ll help you keep it from becoming something bigger.

Answering Your Questions
Is this sciatica or just regular back pain?
The tell is pain traveling below your knee along a consistent path, usually with some tingling or numbness. If it stays in your back or stops around the buttock, something else is likely going on.
Will lying down and resting fix it?
A little rest early helps, but not for long. Lying still seems like the safe call when your leg is on fire, and it leaves you weaker, which drags the whole thing out longer than it needed to go.
Why is sitting worse than standing?
Sitting puts more pressure on the discs in your low back than standing does, and a slouched chair or reclined car seat makes it worse. Fixing how you sit lifts a daily irritation right off the nerve.
What should I call about right away?
Real weakness in the leg or foot, like your foot catching when you walk, or any change in bladder or bowel control. Numbness and tingling alone are common and usually not alarming.
Why does mine keep coming back every year?
Because flare-ups often settle on their own while the cause stays put. A weak core or a job that loads your spine badly sets up the next one. Dealing with that is what makes relief last.
