Get to the Source of Nerve Pain, Not Just the Symptoms
Sciatica can be frustrating, limiting, and sometimes downright debilitating. Whether it started suddenly or has been building for months, that sharp, radiating pain down your leg can make sitting, walking, and even sleeping uncomfortable. At Tennessee Spine and Wellness, we focus on identifying the root cause of your sciatica and developing a plan to help you heal and stay active.
What Sciatica Actually Is
Sciatica isn’t a condition on its own; it’s a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. This nerve is the largest in the body, running from your lower back through your hips and down each leg. When something puts pressure on it, pain and other symptoms follow that entire pathway.
Sciatica symptoms may include pain radiating from the lower back into the hip or leg; burning or sharp, shooting pain; numbness or tingling in the leg or foot; weakness in the affected leg; pain that worsens when sitting or bending; and discomfort on one side of the body.
Some people feel mild irritation, while others experience intense pain that makes daily activities difficult.
What’s Putting Pressure on the Nerve
Sciatica develops when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated. At Tennessee Spine and Wellness, we commonly see it caused by herniated or bulging discs, spinal misalignment, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, pregnancy-related pressure, sports or lifting injuries, prolonged sitting, and car accident-related spinal injuries.
Even a minor auto accident can shift spinal alignment or aggravate a disc, leading to delayed sciatica symptoms days or weeks later, which is why early evaluation is so important.
A Corrective Care Approach to Getting Relief
Because sciatica is caused by nerve compression, our care focuses on relieving that pressure and restoring proper spinal movement. Your personalized plan may include:
- Targeted chiropractic adjustments
- Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP®) structural correction
- SoftWave therapy to reduce inflammation
- Spinal decompression for disc-related sciatica
- Massage therapy for tight muscles contributing to nerve irritation
- Strength and wellness program to stabilize the spine long-term
- Acupuncture for nerve pain relief
- Regenerative medicine for disc and joint support
These therapies work together to improve alignment, reduce inflammation, and create more space for the sciatic nerve so your body can heal naturally.
