Sciatica pain can sideline you from what you enjoy most in life. The good news is that our chiropractic care may offer the relief and support you’re looking for. Our practice offers a range of proven, natural techniques to alleviate sciatica symptoms by targeting the root causes. With a customized treatment approach tailored to your needs, we help ease pain, restore mobility, and get you back to a pain-free lifestyle.
Symptoms and Causes
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through the hips and down each leg, is compressed or irritated. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal misalignments, or muscle imbalances, and symptoms often include sharp or burning pain radiating down the leg, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Sciatica can make it challenging to sit, walk, or even sleep comfortably, impacting overall quality of life.
How Our Chiropractic Approach Can Help
Dr. Steve Hamvay uses a combination of specialized chiropractic techniques to relieve sciatica pain by addressing nerve compression and promoting natural healing:
- Total Technique Approach to Physical Structure (TTAPs): Our flagship method, this integrative approach combines chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy, and reflexology. TTAPs works to restore alignment and balance in the nervous system, easing nerve pressure that contributes to sciatica pain and enhancing overall wellness.
- Flexion Distraction: This gentle technique targets spinal disc tissues, relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve and promoting healing. This non-invasive approach is particularly effective for patients with herniated or bulging discs.
- Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT): Focusing on the sacrum and occiput, SOT helps to correct imbalances that can worsen sciatica symptoms. By addressing pelvic and cranial alignment, SOT can relieve nerve pressure and alleviate pain and discomfort.
Additional Therapies to Support Your Healing
In addition to chiropractic adjustments, we offer complementary therapies designed to accelerate recovery and maintain relief:
Cold Laser Therapy
This advanced therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing, helping you recover faster and experience longer-lasting relief from your symptoms.
Intersegmental Traction
By gently stretching and mobilizing the spine, intersegmental traction improves circulation and spinal health, supporting the effectiveness of your sciatica treatments.
What to Expect
Your first visit includes a comprehensive assessment where Dr. Steve will review your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to determine the root cause of your sciatica. This may include physical tests and, if necessary, imaging to get a complete picture of your spine’s health. Based on this evaluation, our chiropractor will design a personalized treatment plan that aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent future flare-ups.
