Sciatica is a painful condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down each leg. At Optimal Wellness in Wichita, KS, we specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of sciatica, helping patients find lasting relief without relying on invasive procedures.
Common causes of sciatica include herniated discs, spinal misalignments, and muscle tension, particularly in the lower back and gluteal area. Our chiropractors perform a thorough assessment to pinpoint where the nerve is being affected and design a personalized treatment plan to relieve pressure and restore function.
Spinal adjustments are a key component of our sciatica care, helping to realign the spine and relieve nerve impingement. We may also incorporate therapies such as decompression, electric stimulation, and guided stretching to reduce inflammation and ease muscle spasms.
Left untreated, sciatica can become chronic and lead to more serious complications like muscle weakness or numbness. Our proactive approach helps you avoid long-term damage while improving your mobility and quality of life. Many patients begin to notice relief within a few sessions.
If you’re experiencing sharp, shooting pain in your lower back, hips, or legs, call Optimal Wellness at (316) 425-1911. Our clinic at 3017 North Cypress Drive, Suite B, Wichita, KS, is equipped to help you feel better and move freely again.
