Sciatica Chiropractor in Milwaukie, OR
Sciatica is pain, numbness or tingling that runs from your low back down one leg. At our Milwaukie clinic, a chiropractic physician tests your nerves, muscles and joints to find what is irritating the nerve, then builds a written plan of adjustments, soft-tissue work and home exercises. We refer you promptly if your exam shows warning signs.

What’s behind sciatica, and how we treat it
Sciatica is a set of symptoms, not a diagnosis on its own: pain, numbness, or tingling that runs down the leg because something is irritating the nerve roots in the low back or the sciatic nerve itself. A disc, a stiff joint, or tight muscles deep in the hip can all be involved, and the right care depends on which one it is.
Most plans combine gentle adjustments with home exercises that calm the nerve and get you moving again, and we change the plan as your leg symptoms settle. Our sciatica guide explains the causes and options in more depth.
Get checked promptly if
- Pain, numbness, or tingling runs below your knee
- Your leg feels weak or your foot drags
- Sitting or bending forward makes the leg pain worse
- Leg symptoms started after a crash or a lift
Go to an emergency room right away for numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or new trouble controlling your bladder or bowels.

Common questions about sciatica in Milwaukie
Can a chiropractor help sciatica?
Often, when the irritation comes from the spine, joints, or muscles. We test your nerves and muscles first, and if the exam shows signs that need a medical specialist, we refer you.
Will sciatica go away without treatment?
It can ease with time, but care can help you move and feel better sooner. Your exam also looks for warning signs, like leg weakness, that need prompt attention.
Is sciatica care covered after a car accident?
Usually. Oregon PIP pays reasonable and necessary care after a crash, and we bill it for you. We also work with most health plans.
Sitting hurts. How long is the drive from Clackamas to the Milwaukie clinic?
Short. From the Clackamas Community College Harmony campus, it’s about 1.3 miles, around 5 minutes via SE Harmony Rd. From OR-212 and SE 82nd Dr, it’s about 2.7 miles, also around 5 minutes via OR-224. Those are Google Maps weekday estimates. See care for Clackamas.
