Treating Sciatica with Chiropractic Care – A Safe, Non-Surgical Solution

Sciatica is more than just lower back pain — it’s a sharp, radiating discomfort that can make everyday life difficult. If you’ve been struggling with pain that shoots down your leg or causes numbness, tingling, or weakness, you might be dealing with sciatica. The good news? At 1st Choice Injury & Rehab, we offer a safe, non-surgical chiropractic approach to help relieve your symptoms and restore your quality of life.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in your body — is irritated or compressed. This often happens due to:

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Spinal misalignments (subluxations)

• Piriformis syndrome

• Degenerative disc disease

• Spinal stenosis

The result? Pain that starts in the lower back and travels through the buttocks, down the leg, and sometimes into the foot.

Symptoms of Sciatica Include:

• Sharp or burning pain down one leg

• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

• Muscle weakness

• Pain that worsens when sitting, standing, or sneezing

• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, chiropractic care may be the non-invasive solution you've been looking for.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

At 1st Choice Injury & Rehab, we focus on targeting the source of the nerve irritation — not just the symptoms. Here’s how we approach sciatica treatment:

✅ Spinal Adjustments

We realign the spine to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and improve mobility.

✅ Muscle Therapy

Soft tissue techniques help reduce muscle tension and inflammation that may be contributing to your pain.

✅ Decompression Therapy

This non-surgical technique gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure from compressed discs.

✅ Custom Exercise Plans

We guide you through stretching and strengthening exercises to support long-term recovery.

Why Choose Chiropractic Over Surgery?

Surgery for sciatica is often considered a last resort. Chiropractic care offers a drug-free, low-risk alternative that focuses on healing the body naturally. Most patients experience improvement in symptoms within a few weeks of consistent care — without downtime or major medical procedures.
