Sciatica Chiropractor Shelley

We help patients struggling with sharp, radiating sciatic pain through precise chiropractic adjustments, targeted rehab, and lifestyle advice. Our goal is not just to reduce pain but to restore movement and function so you can get back to living comfortably.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to disc issues, joint restrictions, muscle tension, or poor posture. The result is sharp, burning, or shooting pain that travels from the lower back down the leg, sometimes with tingling, numbness, or weakness.

Common Causes of Sciatica

  • Herniated or bulging discs
  • Spinal misalignments and joint dysfunction
  • Muscle tightness or imbalance (piriformis syndrome)
  • Postural strain from sitting or standing too long
  • Previous injuries or repetitive stress
  • Degenerative changes in the spine

Symptoms of Sciatica

  • Pain radiating from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, or leg
  • Tingling, pins and needles, or numbness in the leg or foot
  • Muscle weakness affecting walking or standing
  • Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or coughing
  • Sharp “electric shock” sensations down the leg

How Chiropractic Helps with Sciatica

Our chiropractors focus on the root cause of your sciatic pain rather than masking symptoms. Treatment may include:

Gentle Spinal Adjustments:

These help reduce nerve irritation and restore mobility

Targeted Soft Tissue Therapy:

Easing muscle tension around the affected area

Dry Needling:

A highly effective way to reduce muscle tightness, restore mobility and relieve tension through trigger point therapy.

Postural and Movement Coaching

Practical advice to improve your daily posture. Simple adjustments to your desk setup, sleep position or daily habits to help relieve back pain

Rehabilitation Exercise Programming:

Tailored strength and mobility exercises to improve movement patterns.
