SCIATICA TREATMENT IN SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO

If you're experiencing sharp pain that radiates from your lower back down the back of your leg, you're likely dealing with sciatica. This painful condition can make standing, sitting, or even sleeping uncomfortable. At Resolve Chiropractic in San Juan Capistrano, we specialize in identifying the root cause of sciatica and helping patients find lasting relief through hands-on care, personalized rehab, and movement-focused strategies.

 

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—which runs from the lower back down through the legs. The pain often follows a specific path and may be accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness.

Common causes of sciatica include:

  • Herniated or bulging lumbar discs

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Piriformis syndrome

  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

  • Muscle imbalances or core instability

The pain may be constant or intermittent, dull or sharp, and can affect one or both sides. Chiropractic care can be a highly effective, non-invasive option for managing and resolving sciatica.

How We Help with Sciatica at Resolve Chiropractic

We take a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and restore proper movement throughout your spine, hips, and pelvis.

Our treatment may include:

  • Thorough Assessment: Orthopedic, neurological, and movement testing to identify whether your symptoms stem from the spine, discs, or soft tissue.

  • Chiropractic Adjustments: Improve joint motion, decrease nerve irritation, and reduce inflammation in the lower back and pelvis.

  • Flexion/Distraction Therapy: A gentle decompression technique to create space in the spine and relieve disc-related pressure on the sciatic nerve.

  • Myofascial Release and Soft Tissue Work: Target tight muscles such as the piriformis or hip flexors that may contribute to nerve compression.

  • Targeted Rehab Exercises: Focus on core control, hip mobility, and movement re-education to improve function and prevent recurrence.

Each plan is tailored to your specific cause of sciatica - not just a standard routine.
