Sciatica is usually caused by something pressing on or irritating the sciatic nerve — most often a herniated or bulging disc, but also stenosis, piriformis tightness, or misalignment. The key is identifying the actual source, which we do with a thorough exam and imaging.

Often, yes — when the cause is mechanical. By relieving the pressure on the nerve through adjustments, decompression, and laser therapy, we address the root cause rather than just numbing the symptom.

Many sciatica patients feel meaningful relief within the first few weeks of care. Your timeline depends on the cause and severity, which we'll discuss honestly after your exam.

Most sciatica resolves without surgery. Our non-surgical approach — especially spinal decompression — has helped many patients avoid the operating room. We'll refer you out if we ever believe that's the right call.

No. Our approach is gentle and tailored to your comfort level, with low-force options available for sensitive or acute cases.
