I get it: sciatica’s a total buzzkill. One second you’re fine, the next you’re hobbling around my office, wincing from that sharp zap down your leg. I’ve seen it crash too many lives, and as a chiropractor, I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to win. With my hands-on approach, I’ve helped patients kick sciatica to the curb—no pills, no knives, just natural care. Here’s how I do it and why I think you’ll love it.
What I Know About Sciatica
In my practice, sciatica shows up when that big sciatic nerve—running from your lower back to your legs—gets pinched. Maybe it’s a slipped disc, a spine that’s off-kilter, or a tight muscle clamping down. I’ve had patients blame sitting too long, slouching, even pregnancy. Whatever the cause, it’s your body screaming for help, and I’m listening.
How I Tackle It
When you come to me, I jump in with adjustments—gentle nudges to realign your spine and free up that nerve. It’s like hitting reset on your back. Sometimes I’ll knead out tight spots in your hips or show you stretches to keep the pain away. My job’s to calm things down so your body can heal. That little “pop” you might hear? Just air bubbles—no big deal.
Why I Think It’s a Game-Changer
Here’s what I’ve learned from my patients:
- No meds needed. I skip the foggy stuff and go straight to the fix.
- Built for you. I tweak every session to match your sciatica, not some textbook case.
Life gets better. I teach you tricks—like less sitting, better posture—to fight smarter.
One lady I treated ditched her desk slump, stuck with my adjustments, and told me a month later, “I forgot I even had sciatica.” That’s why I do this.
What I Do When You Show Up
First visit, I ask the basics: Where’s the pain? How’d it start? I’ll check your entire spine then get to work. Adjustments are fast—10-20 minutes—and some folks feel looser right away. Bring stretchy clothes, leave the stress behind, and give me a few sessions to really turn things around.
Why I Believe in It
I've been at this long enough to know what works, and chiropractic care for sciatica? It's the real deal. My patients tell me all the time--after a few adjustments, they're sleeping better, moving easier, even getting back to stuff they love. One guy I treated said his flare-ups dropped from weekly to almost never, just by sticking with it and being consistent. I see the proof in my office every day: folks who thought they'd be stuck with pain walking out with a grin. Studies I've dug into back this up--more than half the people I'd see for sciatica feel a solid difference with spinal adjustments. It's not some overnight fix, but it's a method I'd bet on every time. That's why I keep doing it--it's not just my job, it's what I've seen change lives.
