Sciatica isn’t a diagnosis; it’s a description — pain, burning, numbness, or tingling along the sciatic nerve from the low back down the leg. Something is irritating that nerve, and the something matters: a bulging disc, a misaligned joint, a tight piriformis muscle, and degenerative narrowing each need a different approach.
That’s why guessing is the worst plan. Your Discovery Day pins down the source with a careful history, hands-on and neurologic examination, and imaging when it’s warranted — especially important with disc involvement, where care must be precise and appropriately gentle.
Chiropractic care for disc and sciatic problems focuses on restoring proper alignment and motion to take pressure off the irritated nerve, paired with rehabilitative exercise to stabilize the improvement. And if what we find needs a different kind of doctor, we’ll tell you straight and help you get there — refund included.
If we do not think we can help you, we will refund the entire cost of the visit. That is how confident we are in being honest with you about whether we are the right fit.
