Sciatica Is A Nerve Problem - The Key is Finding What's Irritating It

The sciatic nerve runs from your low back through you hip and down each leg. When something presses on or irritates that nerve, you feel it - sometimes as a dull ache, sometimes as sharp, shooting pain.

The most common causes we see:

Disc Irritation or Bulge - puts direct pressure on the nerve root.
Joint Dysfunction - Misalignment in the low back or pelvis.
Muscle Tension - Tight piriformis or QL compensating for weakness.
Posture and Repetitive Strain - Desk work, driving or repetitive lifting patterns.

We don't guess, We assess with objective data - then treat based on what we find.

What To Expect At Your First Visit

No surprises. No pressure. Just a clear picture of what's going on and what it'll take to fix it.

Step 1 - Focused Evaluation

We start by listening. You'll tell us where it hurts, when it started, and what makes it better or worse. Then we perform your CoreScore muscle and nerve exams to pinpoint exactly where the problem is coming from - not just where you feel the pain.

Step 2 - Objective Findings

When needed, we go deeper with digital x-rays, posture scans, and our Core Score spinal exam - a neurological report card that measures how well your spine and nervous system are actually functioning. You'll see the results yourself, not just hear about them.

Step 3 - Your Plan + Next Steps

Frequently Asked Questions About Sciatica

How long does it take for sciatica to improve?

It depends on the cause and severity. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within the first few weeks of care. During your evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline based on what we find.

Do I need an MRI before coming in?

No. We perform a thorough in-office evaluation including movement testing, nerve assessments, and when appropriate, digital X-rays and posture scans. If advanced imaging is needed, we'll let you know.

What if I have a herniated or bulging disc?

Disc-related sciatica is one of the most common conditions that we treat. Our approach uses targeted adjustments and, when appropriate, spinal decompression therapy to reduce pressure on the nerve — without surgery.

Will I have to come forever?

No. Our care plans are structured in phases with clear start and end points. We track your progress with objective scans and re-exams so you can see exactly how your improving. The goal is always to get you better, not keep you coming indefinitely.

Do you accept insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Humana, Medicare, and many others. Please call if you want to learn more about your health insurance. Many patients also choose our affordable out-of-pocket care plans. We'll walk you through your options at your first visit.

What if I have already tried physical therapy or injections?

Many of our patients come to see us after other treatments haven't worked. Our approach is different - we use advanced diagnostics like the CORE Score spinal exam to indentify the specific source of nerve irritation, which often gets missed with generalized treatment.

Is chiropractic care safe for sciatica?

Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the most researched, invasive approaches for sciatica. We tailor every treatment to your specific condition and comfort level.
