Sciatica

Get on the Path to Becoming Pain-Free With Chiropractic Care

A sharp sensation that shoots from the lower back down through the legs, sciatica is more than just another type of back pain, and everyday activities can trigger its appearance. There is an array of common causes for the pain, including bulging or herniated discs, spinal stenosis and misalignments that put pressure on the sciatic nerve. With years of experience in advanced chiropractic care, we work to help you find a permanent answer to the problem – not temporary relief.

More About Treating Sciatica With Chiropractic Care

When joint irritation alters your movement or a disc places pressure on a nerve, surrounding muscles often tightened to protect the area. It’s a protective response that can increase tension and inflammation, keeping the nerve irritated and allowing symptoms to persist. Most patients with sciatica fully recover within weeks or months, and seeking chiropractic care is a smart way to maintain long-term pain relief. 

When you visit Harbor Chiropractic, we’ll begin your visit by taking a close look at your health history, conduct a thorough evaluation and take digital X-rays as needed. We then develop a personalized chiropractic care plan that addresses your specific needs. Your plan may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to fix alignment, spinal decompression therapy to relieve disc pressure and laser therapy or shockwave treatments in order to stimulate healing and relax your muscles. Contact our office to schedule an appointment with our friendly staff and start treating your sciatica pain as soon as possible.
