Short answer

How does chiropractic care treat sciatica?

Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, from the lower back through the hips and buttocks down each leg, typically caused by a herniated disc, bone spur or spinal stenosis compressing the nerve. At Optimal Health U.S. in Gaffney, SC, Dr. Holet evaluates the cause first, then uses spinal adjustments, spinal decompression for disc-related sciatica and a prevention protocol to relieve that compression.

What Is It?

Understanding Chiropractic for Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body — running from the lower back through the hips and buttocks down each leg. Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along this path, typically caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compressing the nerve.

True sciatica won’t resolve if the underlying compression isn’t addressed. Our chiropractic protocols are designed to remove that compression and restore normal nerve function.
