Sciatica Treatment in Rocklin

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates from the lower back through the hips and legs, often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. The pain can range from mild discomfort to intense, sharp sensations, often accompanied by numbness or tingling. Common causes include:

• Herniated discs
• Spinal misalignments
• Piriformis syndrome
• Degenerative disc disease

Sciatica can make everyday tasks difficult, but effective, non-surgical treatment is available.

How We Treat Sciatica

At New Life Chiropractic, we take a holistic approach to treating sciatica by addressing the root cause of the pain. Our customized treatment plans include:

1. Chiropractic Adjustments

Our chiropractors focus on correcting spinal misalignments that may be causing sciatic nerve compression. Precise adjustments help relieve pressure on the nerve, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility, providing lasting relief from sciatica pain.

2. Spinal Decompression Therapy

For patients with herniated or bulging discs, spinal decompression therapy can help alleviate sciatic pain. This non-invasive technique gently stretches the spine, reducing disc pressure and allowing the herniated material to retract, relieving compression on the sciatic nerve.

Benefits of Spinal Decompression:

• Non-surgical
• Pain-free and relaxing
• Effective for disc-related sciatica

3. Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment that uses acoustic waves to promote healing and reduce inflammation in soft tissues. It’s especially useful for cases where muscle tightness, such as piriformis syndrome, is irritating the sciatic nerve. By stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration, shockwave therapy helps break down scar tissue and reduce pain.
