That sharp, radiating pain down your leg has a cause — and it usually isn't something you have to live with, or have surgery for.
Sciatica is pain that travels along the sciatic nerve — from your lower back, through the hip and buttock, and down the back of one leg. It happens when something is putting pressure on that nerve.
A focused exam pinpoints what's compressing the nerve — a disc, a misaligned joint, or tight muscles.
Chiropractic adjustments and flexion-distraction decompression gently relieve the pressure so the nerve can settle.
Laser therapy reduces inflammation around the nerve and speeds recovery between visits.
Many patients feel meaningful relief within the first few weeks of care. The exact timeline depends on what's pressing on the nerve and how long it's been going on. Dr. Juarez will give you a realistic estimate after your exam.
Yes — that's the goal. Chiropractic adjustments and flexion-distraction decompression relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve so it can calm down, in most cases without injections or surgery.
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The most common causes are a herniated or bulging disc, a tight piriformis muscle, or spinal misalignment pinching the nerve. We identify the source first, then treat it.
