1. Why does my leg hurt if the problem is in my back?

Sciatica is nerve-related—pressure in your spine can cause pain that travels down your leg.

2. Is sciatica dangerous?

While not life-threatening, it can worsen without treatment and cause lasting nerve damage or mobility issues.

3. Can I treat sciatica without surgery?

Yes. Most cases improve with chiropractic care, decompression therapy, and corrective exercises—all offered at our clinic.

4. What does sciatica feel like?

Patients often describe it as a burning, electric shock-like pain that radiates from the lower back to the buttock and leg.

5. Why is it worse when I sit or drive?

Sitting places extra pressure on the sciatic nerve, often making symptoms more intense.

6. Can stretching or massage help?

Yes—but only when guided by a professional. Improper self-treatment can worsen the condition.

7. What happens if I ignore my sciatica?

Chronic pressure on the sciatic nerve can lead to permanent nerve damage and long-term pain or weakness.

8. How soon will I feel better after starting treatment?

Some patients notice improvement in just a few visits; however, lasting results come from a full, customized treatment plan.
