Sciatica from accident and work injuries
Sciatic nerve pain occurs when the sciatic nerve — the largest nerve in the body — becomes compressed or irritated. In injury patients, this is most commonly caused by a lumbar disc herniation or bulge resulting from the forces of a vehicle collision, a workplace lifting injury, or a fall. The resulting pain can radiate from the lower back down through the buttock, thigh, and into the leg and foot.
Sciatica from injury is a serious condition that should be evaluated promptly. Left untreated, disc injuries can progress and neurological symptoms can worsen. Chiropractic care and mechanical traction directly address the disc compression driving the symptoms.
Radiating leg pain
Sharp or burning pain that travels from the lower back down through the buttock and into the leg — the classic sciatic nerve distribution.
Numbness and tingling
Numbness, tingling, or a pins-and-needles sensation in the leg, calf, or foot — indicating nerve compression from disc injury.
Lower back pain
Lumbar pain at the source of the nerve compression — often combined with leg symptoms in injury-related sciatica cases.
How we treat sciatic nerve pain
Treatment targets the disc injury and nerve compression directly — not just the symptoms. Mechanical traction is particularly effective for injury-related sciatica, reducing intradiscal pressure and relieving nerve root irritation.
Mechanical traction
Lumbar decompression directly reduces the disc pressure causing nerve root compression — the most effective conservative treatment for disc-related sciatica.
Chiropractic adjustment
Lumbar manipulation to restore proper spinal joint motion and reduce the mechanical dysfunction contributing to nerve compression.
Class 4 laser therapy
Reduces disc and nerve inflammation — promotes cellular repair in the injured disc tissue and surrounding structures.
Therapeutic exercise
Targeted exercises to stabilize the lumbar spine, reduce disc pressure, and support long-term recovery from injury-related sciatica.
