Frequently asked question

Can a chiropractor help with sciatica?

Yes, many people with sciatica improve with conservative care at Pamer Chiropractic Health Center, including LaserDisc decompression, chiropractic care, and physiotherapy, depending on what the exam finds. Sciatica is a symptom pattern, not a single condition, so the source is identified first.

When sciatica comes from disc pressure, LaserDisc decompression is a common fit at the clinic. When it comes from muscle or joint patterns, other care may be better suited. The exam decides.

Home care like staying gently active and taking breaks from sitting supports the plan. Emergency symptoms, including loss of bladder or bowel control or sudden leg weakness, need emergency care immediately.
