If you’re feeling sharp, shooting pain that runs from your lower back down through your leg, you might be dealing with sciatica — and you’re not alone. Sciatica affects millions of people each year, and it can make sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping painful.
At Premier Chiropractic and Wellness, we specialize in treating the root causes of sciatica so you can get back to living pain-free — naturally and without surgery.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body. It runs from your lower spine through your hips and down each leg. When this nerve gets pinched, inflamed, or compressed, it can cause:
- ⚡ Sharp or burning pain in the lower back, buttocks, or leg
- 😣 Numbness or tingling down one side
- 🦵 Weakness in the affected leg or foot
- 🚫 Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing, or sneezing
Sciatica usually affects only one side of the body — and it won’t go away on its own if the root cause isn’t addressed.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica isn’t a condition itself, but a symptom of something else going on, like:
- ✅ Herniated or bulging disc
- ✅ Spinal misalignment (subluxation)
- ✅ Degenerative disc disease
- ✅ Piriformis syndrome
- ✅ Injury or inflammation in the lower back
That’s why proper diagnosis and personalized care are so important.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica
At Premier Chiropractic and Wellness, we focus on treating the source of your sciatic pain, not just covering it up with medications. Here’s how chiropractic can help:
- ✅ Gentle spinal adjustments to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve
- ✅ Decompression therapy to ease disc-related irritation
- ✅ Muscle therapy to release tight areas that may be pinching nerves
- ✅ Customized stretches and rehab exercises to support long-term relief
By restoring proper alignment and movement in your spine, chiropractic care helps your body heal — without the risks of injections or surgery.
When to See a Chiropractor for Sciatica
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to schedule a visit:
- 🔹 Sciatic pain lasting more than a few days
- 🔹 Numbness or tingling in your leg or foot
- 🔹 Pain that radiates below the knee

The earlier we begin care, the sooner you’ll start feeling better.
