What Sciatica usually looks like

Sciatica is leg pain, tingling, or weakness that follows the sciatic nerve, usually from the low back or the piriformis region. The pattern of the leg symptoms matters more than how dramatic the back pain is.

How a visit for Sciatica is different

We test nerve tension, lumbar motion, and hip mechanics before choosing a direction of exercise or hands-on work. The goal is to change the nerve’s mechanical load, not only to quiet the leg for a day.
