Common Questions
Sciatica FAQs.
What causes sciatica?+
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — becomes compressed or irritated. This can cause pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that radiates from the lower back through the hips and down one or both legs. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, and certain lifestyle factors can also contribute to the development of sciatica. The good news is that chiropractic care is highly effective at addressing the root cause of sciatic nerve compression — not just masking the symptoms.
How long does sciatica treatment take?+
The timeline for sciatica relief varies from patient to patient depending on the severity of the nerve compression, how long you have been experiencing symptoms, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients experience noticeable relief within a few visits, while more chronic or severe cases may require a longer care plan. During your initial consultation we will evaluate the root cause of your sciatica and create a personalized treatment plan with a clear timeline. Our goal is always to get you back to living pain-free as quickly as possible.
Can sciatica come back after treatment?+
Unfortunately, sciatica can return — especially if the underlying cause is not fully addressed or if certain lifestyle habits continue to put stress on the spine. This is why we focus on not only relieving your immediate pain but also correcting the root cause and equipping you with the tools to keep it from coming back. We may recommend stretches, ergonomic adjustments, and periodic maintenance visits to help keep your spine healthy and your sciatic nerve happy long after your initial treatment is complete.
