Sciatica Treatment in Miami
That sharp, shooting pain that runs from your low back into your hip and down your leg has a cause. We find it and treat it, without drugs or surgery.
Sciatica is not a diagnosis so much as a description: it is the pain, tingling, or numbness you feel when the sciatic nerve gets irritated or compressed. The source is usually higher up, often a disc or a joint in the low back or pelvis pressing on the nerve. Chase the leg pain alone and it keeps returning; treat the source and it settles down.
How chiropractic helps sciatica
- Adjustments to restore motion in the low back and pelvis and reduce pressure on the nerve
- Disc decompression when a herniated or bulging disc is the trigger
- Stretches and exercises that keep the nerve gliding freely and the area strong
- A clear picture of what is causing it, so you are not guessing
What to expect at 305 My Chiro
Dr. Malavenda starts by pinpointing where the nerve is being pinched, using a thorough exam and imaging when needed. Care is gentle and specific, and most patients feel the difference as movement returns and the nerve calms. He has treated sciatica in Miami since 1987, from new parents to weekend athletes to people who simply sat wrong for too long.
