There are two reasons that sciatica creates so much misery. One is the excruciating pain itself that can radiate from the lower back to the foot. The other is the difficulty many people have in eliminating the pain. Is the only solution for sciatica pain relief a combination of painkillers and muscle relaxers? That’s a mixture that could easily result in dependence on these drugs. A drug-free recovery from sciatica may simply be a better solution.
If you have never suffered from sciatica symptoms, you are lucky. The condition often results in numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness that extends all the way down one leg. It can hurt to walk, stand or sit for any length of time. The condition results from the irritation of nerves near the bottom of your spine.
When we see a patient with sciatica, we get them started right away on multiple treatment options to heal this irritation and restore the patient’s ability to sit, stand and walk without pain.

Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelets are the most active healing components in your own blood. By concentrating these platelets in your blood plasma and then returning this plasma to an injured area, you can see an increase in healing which means reduced pain and improved function.
Class IV Laser
Patients love our Class IV Laser for the healing and pain relief it offers. This laser sends calming light waves deep into your body, helping those irritated nerves return to normal.
Chiropractic Treatment
In case after case, chiropractic treatment has proven to be an effective method of addressing sciatica. Gentle adjustments to the position of lower back vertebrae relieve pressure on the discs between your vertebrae and normalizes the space available to these discs. More fluids can reach discs to keep them hydrated. This soothes discs and adjacent nerves and irritation heals.
