CAN A CHIROPRACTOR FIX SCIATICA WITHOUT SURGERY?
In many cases, yes — when the true cause is identified and treated properly at Ethos Chiropractic, Longevity & Wellness in Irving TX.
Sciatica is rarely a leg problem. It is almost always a spinal problem expressing itself in the leg. When the lumbar spine loses proper alignment, stability, or disc health, the sciatic nerve becomes irritated. The result is pain, numbness, weakness, or burning that radiates down the hip and leg.
Treating the symptom without correcting the mechanical cause allows the problem to progress.
Addressing the cause early can prevent escalation to injections, medications, or surgery.
Why Low Back Pain and Sciatica Are Connected in Irving TX
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It exits the lower spine and travels into the hip and leg. When compressed or inflamed, symptoms follow predictable patterns.
Common root causes include:
Lumbar spinal misalignment
Disc bulges or herniations
Degenerative disc disease
Loss of spinal stability
Nerve compression or friction
Muscle spasms driven by irritated nerves
Prolonged sitting and poor movement mechanics
The leg pain is the signal.
The spine is the source.
