Conditions & Injuries
Radiating Pain, Sciatica and Nerve Symptoms
Sciatica, numbness and tingling caused by irritated or compressed nerves.
Pain that travels — down a leg, into an arm, or around the ribs — usually means a nerve is being irritated or compressed somewhere along its path. Chasing the place it hurts rarely helps, because that is not where the problem lives.
We locate the source, decompress and calm it, then rebuild the strength and mobility that keeps it from recurring.
Symptoms We See
- Sharp or burning pain travelling down the leg or arm
- Numbness or pins and needles
- Muscle weakness in the limb
- Pain worse with sitting, coughing or sneezing
- Symptoms that shift position over time
- Night pain that disrupts sleep
How we treat it
Chiropractic, Physical Therapy and Medical Care Together
Most patients do best when hands-on care, rehabilitation and medical treatment run in parallel rather than one after the other.
Chiropractic Treatment Path
- Nerve tension and neurological testing to locate the level involved.
- Adjustment, mobilization and decompression techniques.
- Soft tissue work for muscles compressing the nerve path.
- Position and activity modification advice.
Physical Therapy Treatment Path
- Directional preference exercise to centralize symptoms.
- Nerve glide and mobility techniques.
- Core, hip and shoulder girdle strengthening.
- Progressive return to loaded activity.
Medical & Pain Management
- Medical evaluation of progressive weakness or sensory loss.
- Advanced imaging referral where warranted.
- Injections to reduce nerve root inflammation.
- Medication management when appropriate.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sciatica always a disc problem?
No. Discs are a common cause, but joint irritation, stenosis and muscular compression can produce similar symptoms. The exam sorts it out.
When is radiating pain an emergency?
Progressive weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, or saddle numbness require immediate emergency care. Otherwise, prompt evaluation is appropriate.
