Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, often due to a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tightness in the lower back. This can cause sharp, radiating pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. Restricted spinal mobility and poor posture can worsen the condition, leading to recurring flare-ups. Without targeted intervention, sciatica can interfere with walking, sitting, and everyday activities, reducing overall quality of life and mobility.
At Wellness Dallas Medical, non-surgical care for sciatica focuses on relieving nerve compression and restoring proper spinal alignment. Targeted lumbar adjustments reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve while soft tissue therapy eases surrounding muscle tension. Guided mobility exercises and posture corrections support long-term recovery. By addressing the root cause of nerve irritation rather than masking pain, patients often regain mobility, reduce leg discomfort, and experience lasting relief within a few visits.
