Relieve Nerve Pain. Restore Mobility. Regain Control.

Sciatica can bring sharp, radiating pain down your leg that makes it hard to sit, stand, or walk comfortably. At New Life Chiropractic, we help patients find relief from sciatica by targeting the root cause—nerve pressure in the lower back—and correcting it through gentle, focused chiropractic care.

If you’re tired of dealing with leg pain, numbness, or stiffness caused by sciatica, we’re here to help you move better and feel better—naturally.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—is compressed or irritated, usually near the lower spine. This nerve runs from your lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg.

Common causes of sciatica include:

• Spinal misalignments (subluxations)

• Herniated or bulging discs

• Degenerative disc disease

• Spinal stenosis

• Pelvic misalignment

• Muscle tightness (especially piriformis syndrome)

• Previous injuries or repetitive stress

Sciatica Symptoms We Help Treat

• Sharp, shooting pain from the lower back into the buttock or leg

• Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations down one side

• Weakness in the leg or foot

• Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting

• Discomfort that makes it hard to sleep or walk normally

Sciatica often develops gradually and can persist or worsen over time without proper care.

Our Chiropractic Approach to Sciatica Relief

At New Life Chiropractic, we don’t just treat the pain—we focus on removing the nerve interference causing it. We evaluate your spine, pelvis, and posture to identify where the sciatic nerve is being compressed, then apply targeted, corrective care to restore balance and relieve pressure.

Your personalized care plan may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments to realign the lumbar spine and pelvis

• Flexion Distraction Therapy to gently decompress the spine and relieve disc pressure

• Soft tissue therapy to release tight muscles around the nerve

• Corrective exercise therapy to stabilize your core and support spinal alignment

• Postural coaching and movement support to prevent flare-ups

• Lifestyle advice to support healing and reduce inflammation
