Sciatica Relief in Casa Grande
Leg pain that wakes you up at night has a cause, and the cause is findable.
Sciatica is pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from the low back or buttock down the leg along the sciatic nerve. Stewart Clinic of Chiropractic in Casa Grande treats it by finding the source, usually a disc or a tight muscle pressing the nerve, then using spinal decompression, dry needling, adjusting, and rehab exercise to take the pressure off.
The why
Two common sources
The first is a disc in the low back bulging against the nerve root. That version often hurts more when you sit, bend, or cough.
The second is deep hip muscle, usually the piriformis, clamping down on the nerve as it passes through. That version often hurts more after driving or sitting on a hard chair.
The exam sorts out which one you have, because the treatment differs.
Your plan
What treatment looks like
- Spinal decompression to unload a disc that is pressing the nerve
- Dry needling with electric stim for the deep hip and glute muscles
- Adjusting to restore motion in the low back and pelvis
- Nerve glide and hip strength exercise so the leg stays quiet
Questions
Common questions
Can chiropractic help sciatica?
Yes. Sciatica is one of the most common problems treated at Stewart Clinic of Chiropractic in Casa Grande. Care layers spinal decompression, dry needling, adjusting, and rehab exercise so pressure comes off the nerve and the low back gets strong enough to keep it off.
How long does sciatica take to settle?
Many Casa Grande patients notice the leg pain pulling back toward the low back within the first couple of weeks, which is a good sign. Dr. Brett Stewart gives you a visit count and a recheck point rather than an open-ended plan.
