What is Sciatica? Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, it affects only one side of the body.

- Numbness, tingling, or burning sensation
- Muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot
- Pain worsens with sitting, coughing, or sneezing
- Duration:
- Acute sciatica lasts a few days to weeks

How Can the Chiropractors, Medical Staff and Therapists at Camelback Medical Centers Can Help with Sciatica?
At Camelback Medical Centers, our experienced chiropractors specialize in diagnosing and treating the root causes of sciatica—not just masking the symptoms. Our integrated approach combines chiropractic care, medical treatments, and physical therapy to provide long-lasting relief.
Here’s how we help:
✅ Comprehensive Evaluation
We start with a detailed consultation, physical exam, and diagnostic imaging (if needed) to identify the exact cause of your sciatic nerve irritation—whether it’s a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or muscle tension.
✅ Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, targeted spinal adjustments help realign the spine, relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, and restore normal motion. Many patients experience reduced pain and improved mobility after just a few sessions.
✅ Conservative Medical Support
For more inflamed or acute cases, our medical team may provide trigger point injections to help relax the muscles that may be contributing to compression on the nerve.
✅ Rehabilitation and Stretching
Our in-house rehab specialists guide patients through customized stretches and exercises to strengthen and retrain the muscles in the lower back, increase flexibility and prevent future flare-ups.
✅ Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression is a gentle, computer-controlled therapy that slowly stretches the spine in a precise and controlled way. This creates space between the vertebrae and reduces pressure on compressed nerves—especially the sciatic nerve.
✅ Additional Medical Support
At Camelback Medical Centers we employ a double board certified Interventional Pain Management Physician with several years of experience performing nerve blocks, or more in-depth procedures & non-surgical therapies to calm irritation and support faster healing.
✅ Whole-Body Approach
Sciatica often stems from multiple factors. Our integrated team—including chiropractors, physical therapists, and medical providers—work together to treat the whole body and support long-term recovery.
