Sciatica often starts in the spine
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the low back down the leg, usually because something is irritating or compressing the sciatic nerve. The leg is where you feel it, but the source is often in the spine.
We locate that source and relieve the pressure with gentle, drug-free care.
Care that takes pressure off the nerve
We use adjustments, soft-tissue therapy, and targeted exercises to reduce nerve irritation and restore movement. Sciatica symptoms we treat include:
- Radiating pain from the low back into the leg
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Burning or sharp, shooting pain
- Weakness or difficulty sitting and standing
Your plan includes stretches and guidance to keep the nerve calm between visits.
What triggers sciatica
Sciatic nerve pain often comes from:
- Disc irritation or herniation
- Auto-accident and lifting injuries
- Tight muscles compressing the nerve
- Prolonged sitting and poor posture
Between visits: avoid sitting for long periods, keep gently moving, and do the stretches we recommend. Motion helps calm an irritated nerve.

Common questions about sciatica in Oregon City
Can a chiropractor help sciatica?
Yes. Sciatica is often driven by something irritating the sciatic nerve in the spine. We locate that source and relieve the pressure with gentle, drug-free care.
What does sciatica feel like?
Nerve pain that travels from the low back down the leg, often with numbness or tingling. The leg is where you feel it, but the source is often in the spine.
How soon should I treat sciatica after an accident?
As soon as you can, once any serious injury has been ruled out. Go to an emergency room first if you have new leg weakness or changes in bladder or bowel control. Same-day evaluations are usually available in Oregon City.
Is sciatica treatment covered by insurance?
Usually yes, when it follows a crash. Oregon PIP typically covers it, and we bill most major insurance. Call (503) 723-4462.
Will sciatica go away on its own?
Sometimes it eases with time. Care can help relieve the pain sooner, and your exam also checks for signs that need prompt referral, such as leg weakness or changes in bladder or bowel control.
Is treatment hands-on?
