- DecompressionTakes pressure off a disc pressing on the nerve.
- Move againRehab and stretches that help keep the nerve calm.
From Your Low Back
Into One Leg
Sciatica can feel like burning, shocks or numbness in one leg. During an Uptown desk day, the path of that pain helps locate its source.
Your symptoms map the nerve
Where your pain starts and stops helps show which nerve root is involved. Tell Dr. Currington what you feel during your office day and after you leave your desk.
Disc pressure gets its own care
If a bulging or herniated disc is pressing on the nerve, decompression may help. Gentle table traction aims to ease the pressure where it starts.
Movement for the back and pelvis
Adjustments can help stiff joints move and reduce strain on the nerve. Rehab adds core work and stretches to help the nerve move freely.
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.
