WHAT SCIATICA ACTUALLY IS

Sciatica is not a diagnosis on its own. It is a symptom of something compressing or irritating the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body, which runs from the lower back through the hip and down each leg. The usual culprits are a herniated or bulging disc, spinal stenosis, or a piriformis muscle in spasm. That distinction matters, because treating the leg pain without addressing what is pressing on the nerve gives you temporary relief at best. Our first job is identifying which of these is causing your pain.

HOW WE TREAT IT

Treatment begins with a full evaluation, including X-rays when the history warrants it, to determine where the nerve is being compressed. From there Dr. Phillips uses targeted spinal adjustments to restore proper joint motion and relieve pressure on the nerve root, along with soft tissue work for the surrounding muscles that have tightened in response to the pain. Most patients notice a change within the first several visits. We also address the daily habits that keep the problem returning, including how you sit, lift, and sleep.

Stop Living With Leg Pain That Starts in Your Back

Sciatic pain that has lasted more than a few weeks rarely resolves on its own, and waiting often means the surrounding muscles compensate and create a second problem. Phillips Chiropractic has treated sciatica in the Macon, Gray, Forsyth, and Warner Robins area since 2002, without drugs or surgery.
