Sciatica Treatment in Flower Mound

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve-a large nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg.
Common causes include herniated or bulging lumbar discs, spinal stenosis and piriformis syndrome.
Symptoms may include sharp or burning pain radiating from the buttock into the leg, numbness or tingling and muscle weakness.
The Cleveland Clinic lists sciatica as one of the musculoskeletal conditions chiropractors treat.

A Conservative Approach to Care

At New Life Chiropractic, we begin with a careful evaluation of your spine and nervous system.
If sciatica results from disc compression, nonsurgical spinal decompression can create negative pressure within the disc to allow herniated material to retract.
Spinal decompression relieves pressure on neural elements and is used for bulging discs, herniated discs, pinched nerves and spinal stenosis.
Treatment may also involve gentle chiropractic adjustments, targeted stretches, shockwave therapy and functional movement exercises.

Relief Without Surgery

Nonsurgical decompression uses computer‑controlled traction to gently stretch the spine, promoting nutrient exchange and reducing nerve irritation.
Patients remain fully clothed and treatments are generally comfortable.
Because every case is different, we tailor the number of sessions and combine decompression with other modalities like muscle release and core stabilization.

Additional Therapies

Shockwave therapy: Stimulates circulation and tissue healing.
Active Release Techniques: Focus on releasing tight muscles that compress the sciatic nerve.
BFR (Blood Flow Restriction) training: Enhances strengthening with less load on sore tissues.
Exercise and postural coaching: Restores balanced movement patterns.

When to Seek Care

Persistent leg pain, weakness or numbness warrants evaluation.
Early intervention can prevent chronic nerve irritation and help you return to walking, running and daily activities without discomfort.
Our doctors collaborate with medical professionals when advanced imaging or surgical consultation is appropriate.
