Overview
Sciatica Chiropractic Care for Lakewood patients
Sciatica is shooting or burning pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down the leg, caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve. The source can be a lumbar disc, a tight piriformis muscle, or a restricted joint — and care differs for each. The evaluation finds the cause so treatment actually addresses it.
Lakewood spans the west side of the metro from Belmar to Green Mountain, with a mix of commuters on 6th Avenue and Wadsworth, outdoor-active residents near the foothills, and a large share of desk and service workers. The result is a steady pattern of postural strain, commute-related pain, and weekend overuse injuries.
What sciatica care includes
- Straight-leg-raise and neurological testing to locate the source
- Lumbar decompression and targeted adjustments for disc-related sciatica
- Soft-tissue release for piriformis and deep-hip-rotator involvement
