Sciatica Treatment in Woodstock
Gentle, Effective Care for Lasting Relief from Sciatica
Sciatica is more common than you think — but the good news is, it can often be treated without the need for invasive procedures.
Sciatica refers to pain that travels from the lower back or buttocks down the back of the leg. While it usually affects just one leg, in some cases both can be involved. This pain is caused when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or trapped, often due to a disc herniation or tightness in the piriformis muscle.
Living with sciatica can be frustrating, making simple movements uncomfortable. At The Woodstock Chiropractor, we use safe, gentle techniques to ease pressure on the nerve, reduce pain, and restore natural movement so you can get back to enjoying daily life.
Common Symptoms of Sciatica
Aching, Burning, or Shooting Pain – running from the buttocks down the back of the leg.
Numbness – a ‘pins and needles’ sensation in the leg or foot.
Weakness – reduced strength in the leg or difficulty moving normally.
Pain After Activity – discomfort that worsens after walking or standing for long periods.
Triggered Pain – sharper pain brought on by sneezing or coughing.

Sciatica & Chiropractic Care — Common Questions
If you’re struggling with leg pain or nerve discomfort, you may have a lot of questions. Here are some of the answers our patients often look for when it comes to sciatica.
What exactly is sciatica?
Sciatica is pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve — usually from the lower back or buttocks down the back of the leg. It’s often caused by pressure from a disc problem or tight muscles around the nerve.
Can chiropractic care help with sciatica?
Yes. Chiropractic care aims to reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve through gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and specific exercises. Many patients find relief and improved mobility after care.
How do I know if I have sciatica?
Typical signs include shooting pain down the leg, numbness, tingling, or weakness. If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s worth having an assessment to confirm whether sciatica is the cause.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for sciatica?
Absolutely. Our treatments are safe, gentle, and tailored to your needs. We always explain everything clearly so you feel comfortable and confident in your care.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first appointment includes a friendly chat about your health, a thorough examination, and any necessary tests. Once we know what’s happening, we’ll design a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Will my sciatica go away on its own?
Sometimes symptoms can ease over time, but without addressing the underlying cause, sciatica often comes back. Chiropractic care helps to treat the source of the problem, not just the pain.
