What is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It occurs when this nerve—or the nerve roots connected to it—becomes compressed or irritated, often leading to discomfort that starts in the lower back and radiates downward.
Common symptoms include sharp or burning leg pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the affected side. At Narson-Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we focus on identifying the root cause of your sciatica and providing targeted solutions to restore mobility, reduce pain, and support long-term healing.

Common Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica can develop for many reasons, often involving pressure on the sciatic nerve or its nearby structures. At Narson‒Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we look beyond surface symptoms to uncover what’s really triggering your pain—so we can treat it at the source.
Here are some of the most common contributors to sciatica pain:
A herniated disc in the lower spine is one of the most frequent causes of sciatica. When the inner material of a spinal disc pushes out, it can press against nearby nerve roots, triggering pain that radiates down the leg.
Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord or nerves. When this occurs in the lumbar region, it may affect the sciatic nerve and cause symptoms like numbness, tingling, or leg weakness.
As spinal discs naturally lose flexibility and cushioning, it can lead to inflammation, instability, and nerve compression—often contributing to sciatic pain. This gradual process can affect anyone exposed to repetitive strain, poor posture, or spinal dysfunction.

Overgrowth of bone due to arthritis or joint degeneration can narrow the space within the spine, putting pressure on nearby nerves. Bone spurs near the sciatic nerve can be a hidden contributor to chronic pain and limited mobility.
Tight or inflamed muscles—especially in the lower back or hips—can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve. Conditions like piriformis syndrome mimic sciatica and are often linked to poor posture, overuse, or prolonged sitting.

What Symptoms Does Sciatica Cause?

Sciatica symptoms can vary in intensity and location, but they typically affect one side of the lower body—starting in the lower back and extending through the buttock, leg, or even into the foot. At Narson‒Kassay Personalized HealthCare, recognizing these patterns helps us perform an accurate diagnosis and build a targeted plan for lasting sciatica relief.
Some of the most common symptoms include:
  • Sharp, shooting pain down the leg.
  • Burning or tingling sensations in the buttock, thigh, or calf.
  • Numbness or reduced sensation in the affected leg or foot.
  • Muscle weakness, especially when lifting the foot or leg.
  • Discomfort that worsens with prolonged sitting or certain movements.
  • Pain that improves slightly when lying down or walking.
  • Sensations of “pins and needles” or electrical shocks.
WHAT WE OFFER

What Are the Sciatica Treatment Options?

Your pain is personal—so your treatment should be too. At Narson-Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our approach is rooted in compassion, expertise, and a commitment to uncovering what your body truly needs to heal.
Your personalized plan may include a combination of the following:

Chiropractic Treatment

Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, we help restore balance to your spine, reduce nerve pressure, and encourage natural healing. Each session is designed with your comfort and goals in mind—supporting your nervous system without medications or surgery.

Functional Medicine

Sometimes the root cause of sciatica is more than mechanical. We explore underlying contributors—like chronic inflammation, metabolic imbalances, or nutritional deficiencies—that may be affecting your body’s ability to heal. Together, we create a personalized plan that includes dietary shifts, supplementation, and lifestyle guidance.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative therapy that uses healing factors from your own blood to reduce inflammation and support repair in areas surrounding the sciatic nerve. It’s a natural, minimally invasive way to stimulate your body’s recovery process.

Stem Cell

We use regenerative products such as Wharton’s Jelly and A2M to help repair damaged tissues and reduce chronic inflammation. These non-surgical therapies are designed to support cellular regeneration and ease pressure on the sciatic nerve over time.

Peptide Therapy

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the body to heal and regenerate. In sciatica care, peptide therapy can help calm inflammation, improve nerve function, and support long-term recovery—especially for those with chronic or slow-healing symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can chiropractic care help with sciatica?
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most effective ways to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. By restoring proper spinal function and improving mobility, chiropractic care helps treat the underlying cause of sciatica—not just the symptoms. Our team uses hands-on techniques to support long-term healing.
What’s the best treatment for sciatica pain?
The best treatment depends on what’s causing your sciatic nerve irritation. At Narson-Kassay Personalized HealthCare, we offer professional treatment plans that may include chiropractic care, functional medicine, and regenerative therapies. Our goal is to treat sciatica at its root for lasting relief—not just quick fixes.
How can I relieve sciatic pain at home?
For short-term relief, gentle stretching, cold and heat therapy, and proper posture can reduce irritation. However, lasting results come from treating sciatica at the source. If symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, a professional evaluation and a customized treatment for sciatica may be needed to prevent further nerve damage.
Can sciatica be permanently resolved?
In many cases, yes—especially when the underlying cause is properly diagnosed and treated. Addressing spinal dysfunction, reducing inflammation, and supporting nerve healing through physical therapy or regenerative care can lead to lasting improvements. Early intervention is key to preventing chronic pain.
What should I avoid when treating sciatica?
Activities that put extra strain on the lower back—like heavy lifting, twisting, or high-impact exercise—can make symptoms worse. It’s also important not to ignore prolonged pain. Seeking professional treatment early helps prevent further nerve damage and supports a smoother recovery.
