Leg Pain with
A Cause to Treat
Sciatica names the pain, and a disc, tight muscle or spinal narrowing may cause it. Care in Knox-Henderson starts by telling them apart.
An exam that follows the pain
Leg raises, reflexes and strength checks help locate the irritated nerve root. Your first visit at the clinic in Knox-Henderson brings those findings together.
Treatment matched to the cause
A disc pressing on the nerve may respond to decompression. Tight knots in your hip or buttock may call for dry needling as part of the plan.
Strength as the nerve settles
Rehab combines core exercises with stretches that help the nerve move. You also get stretches to use at home between sessions.
How We Treat
Sciatica
The plan depends on what is pinching the nerve. Most combine the care below.
Spinal Decompression
Gentle, computer-guided traction that can take pressure off a disc pressing on the nerve root.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments to the low back and pelvis that help restore motion and ease strain on the nerve.
Dry Needling
Fine needles that release tight muscle knots in the buttock and hip, which can add to the pain.
Rehab and Stretching
Exercises that build core strength and help the nerve move freely as it settles.
What Can Cause
Sciatica
Sciatica is the symptom. These are the problems in the spine and hip that most often cause it.
- Herniated DiscDisc material that pushes out and presses on a nerve root.
- Bulging DiscA disc that spreads past its edge and crowds the nerve.
- Spinal StenosisNarrowing in the low back that squeezes the nerves.
- Degenerative Disc DiseaseWorn, thinner discs that leave the nerve less room.
- Piriformis SyndromeA tight muscle deep in the buttock that irritates the nerve.
- PregnancyPressure and posture changes that can pinch the nerve late in pregnancy.
