Sciatica Relief in Smyrna

Sciatica is a common condition that affects many people, causing pain that radiates from the lower back down one leg. It can feel like a sharp, burning sensation or a persistent ache that makes everyday activities difficult. If you experience numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in your leg, sciatica may be the cause. The good news? Our practice offers effective, non-invasive treatments to help you find relief.

What Causes It?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated. This can result from conditions such as herniated or bulging discs pressing on the nerve, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), degenerative disc disease causing nerve irritation, piriformis syndrome where a tight muscle irritates the nerve, or spondylolisthesis, where a vertebra shifts out of place.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Sciatic pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain. Common symptoms include radiating pain from the lower back to the leg, numbness or tingling in the leg or foot, muscle weakness affecting mobility, and increased pain with prolonged sitting or standing.

How Chiropractic Care & Decompression Can Help

Chiropractic treatment offers a drug-free, non-surgical approach to relieving sciatica by addressing the root cause of nerve compression. We offer the following treatment options:

• Spinal Adjustments – Restoring proper alignment to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Non-surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy – Gently stretching the spine to create space between vertebrae, reducing nerve compression.
• Soft Tissue Therapy – Using massage and myofascial release techniques to ease muscle tension and improve mobility.
• Corrective Exercises – Strengthening core and lower back muscles for long-term relief and preventing future flare-ups.
