Sciatica Treatment
Sciatica is that sharp, burning, or tingling pain that radiates from your lower back down through your hip and leg. It’s your sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—telling you something’s wrong. The pain can be constant or come and go. It might feel like an electric shock or a dull ache. Either way, it makes sitting, standing, and moving uncomfortable.
Here’s what’s happening: something is compressing or irritating your sciatic nerve. It could be a herniated disc pressing on it. Or spinal misalignment. Or tight muscles. When that nerve gets compressed, it sends pain signals down your leg. Chiropractic care for sciatica focuses on relieving that pressure. Through gentle adjustments, decompression therapy, and soft tissue work, Dr. Duren helps restore proper spinal alignment and reduce the compression that’s causing your pain.
