Sciatica Chiropractor in Juneau

Sciatica is more than just back pain. When your sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, you can feel pain, numbness, or tingling that shoots from your lower back all the way down your leg. Chiropractic care targets the source of that compression to provide real, lasting relief.

What Causes Sciatica

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower spine through your hips and down each leg. Sciatica occurs when something puts pressure on this nerve, typically a herniated disc, bone spur, or misaligned vertebra in your lumbar spine.

Chiropractic adjustments help by restoring proper alignment to your lower spine, taking pressure off the nerve. Many patients experience significant improvement after just a few visits, though the timeline depends on the severity and underlying cause of the compression.
