Our Approach to Sciatica Treatment

At PrimeSpine, our approach begins with evaluating symptoms, movement limitations, and contributing factors that may be irritating the sciatic nerve.

Sciatica is commonly associated with irritation or pressure affecting the sciatic nerve. Treatment options may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and contributing factors. Chiropractic care provides a focused, non-invasive approach to managing sciatic nerve irritation through personalized treatment centered on spinal mobility, joint function, and movement comfort.

We use treatment techniques selected to support movement, manage discomfort, and improve spinal function when appropriate.

Common Symptoms Associated with Sciatica

Sciatica may involve a range of symptoms depending on the level of nerve irritation, pressure, or related musculoskeletal factors. Common symptoms may include:

  • Pain Radiating Down the Leg: Sciatic nerve irritation may cause pain that travels from the lower back into the hips, buttocks, and legs.

  • Lower Back and Hip Pain: Many individuals with sciatica experience ongoing discomfort or stiffness in the lower back and hip region.

  • Numbness or Tingling: Some individuals experience numbness or tingling sensations in the legs or feet.

  • Muscle Tightness or Leg Weakness: Some individuals experience muscle tightness, reduced mobility, or feelings of weakness in the leg.

  • Pain During Sitting, Standing, or Movement: Prolonged sitting, standing, or certain movements may increase sciatic nerve discomfort and affect daily activities.

Common Factors Associated With Sciatic Nerve Pain

Patient Feedback and Results

David

★★★★★

Dr. Baker is amazing! I walked in a lot of pain. After an exam and an X-ray, he performed a professional adjustment, and I walked out feeling much better. I appreciated that there were no high-pressure sales tactics. The staff was nice and friendly, and I was able to get an appointment for the next day. They accept most insurance, super convenient.

★★★★★

Dr. Baker is an amazing chiropractor who truly cares about his patients. When I first met Dr. Baker, I had severe lower back pain and neck pain. I could not walk straight. I could not stand straight. I could not sit for a long period of time. It was affecting my work and my daily activities. However, after treatments with Dr. Baker, now my back pain is very minimal. I no longer have neck pain. I am so grateful for Dr. Baker.

I've been coming here for nearly a decade, and I can't sing their praises enough. Drs. Kelley and Baker are excellent, and have helped with a lot of neck and back pain, and they've overall helped me live a more pain free day-to-day.

I've had a lot of back problems and have seen several chiropractors, but Dr. Kelley is by far the best!! He's helped me so much, so instead of being in constant pain like before, my quality of life has gotten considerably better. I have mostly pain free days now. Thank you Dr. Kelley, you're the best!
