If you are suffering from a burning ache, sharp shooting pains, or frustrating numbness traveling down your lower back, through your glutes, and into your leg—you are likely dealing with sciatica.
Sciatica isn't a standalone condition; it is a symptom caused by irritation or pressure on the largest nerve in your body. When you are in acute pain, even simple daily movements can feel completely overwhelming.
Does this sound like what you are experiencing?
-
Sharp, electric shocks down one leg when you stand up or walk.
-
A constant, dull, burning ache deep in your hip after sitting at your desk or driving.
-
Pins and needles, numbness, or weakness in your leg or foot that makes you feel unstable.
-
Frustration from taking anti-inflammatories or resting, only for the pain to return the moment you move.

A Clinical, Evidence-Based Approach to Sciatica Relief
Masking the pain with temporary fixes doesn't resolve the underlying issue. To get long-term relief, we have to address why the nerve is being compressed or irritated in the first place. This is often driven by localized spinal joint restrictions, muscle shielding, or disc pressure in the lower back.
At our Henderson clinic, we don't believe in generic, one-size-fits-all treatments. Your recovery starts with a comprehensive physical assessment where we map out exactly what is triggering your nerve pain.
Our targeted care combines precise, hands-on clinical adjustments to improve spinal function with practical, movement-based strategies. The goal is simple: take the mechanical pressure off your nervous system, reduce your pain, and give you the tools to keep it from coming back.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
We make your path to recovery completely transparent so there are no surprises:
-
Detailed Consultation: We listen to your history and map out how the pain affects your day.
-
Physical Examination: We perform orthopedic and neurological testing to isolate the exact nerve root involved.
-
Personalized Recommendations: We explain our findings clearly and outline a targeted management plan designed to get you moving comfortably again.
