What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica often develops due to conditions that put pressure on the sciatic nerve. Common causes include:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Spinal misalignments
• Degenerative disc disease
• Muscle tightness or inflammation
• Injury or strain affecting the lower back

Treatment Options for Sciatica

Our clinic provides non-invasive treatments to alleviate symptoms and promote healing. Some of these treatments include:

• Chiropractic Care – Gentle spinal adjustments help realign the spine, reduce nerve irritation, and restore proper movement.
• Spinal Decompression – This therapy creates space between the vertebrae, relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves.
• Myofascial Release – By targeting tight muscles and connective tissue, this technique helps ease tension and improve flexibility.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

During your first visit, our chiropractor in Lubbock, TX, will perform a thorough evaluation to understand the cause of your sciatica. This may include a discussion of your symptoms, a physical exam, and any necessary imaging to assess nerve and spinal health. Based on the findings, we will create a personalized treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments and spinal decompression.
