Sciatica Treatment in
Saratoga Springs
Natural, Lasting Relief for Leg Pain and Nerve Irritation
If you're experiencing sharp, burning, or shooting pain that travels down your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica—a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. At Turning Point Chiropractic in Saratoga Springs, we offer personalized, non-invasive treatment plans that target the root cause of your pain and help you get back to moving comfortably again.
What Is Sciatica?
Understanding the Most Common Nerve Pain Condition
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body, running from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. When this nerve becomes compressed or inflamed—often due to a disc issue, spinal misalignment, or muscle tightness—it can cause intense and persistent pain known as sciatica.
Common symptoms of sciatica include:
Pain that radiates from the low back to the buttock or leg
Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations
Weakness in the leg or foot
Discomfort when sitting or standing for long periods
Sharp or shooting pain with movement
Sciatica may come on suddenly or develop gradually, and without proper care, it can become a recurring or chronic issue.
How We Treat Sciatica at Turning Point Chiropractic
Addressing the Source — Not Just the Symptoms
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to determine what’s irritating your sciatic nerve. From there, we design a care plan that may include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle spinal adjustments realign the vertebrae, relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, and restore proper joint function in the lower back and pelvis.
Soft Tissue Therapy
We use Active Release Techniques (ART), Graston Technique, and myofascial release to address muscle tension and adhesions in the piriformis, glutes, and hamstrings—common contributors to sciatic pain.
Flexion-Distraction Therapy
This specialized technique decompresses the spine using a gentle stretching motion that can reduce disc pressure and nerve irritation—especially helpful in disc-related cases of sciatica.
Rehabilitative Exercises
We teach you targeted stretches and mobility drills to improve core strength, hip flexibility, and spinal stability—all essential for long-term relief and prevention.
Common Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica can result from a variety of underlying issues, including:
Herniated or bulging discs
Lumbar spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Piriformis syndrome
Pelvic or sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Poor posture or biomechanics
No two cases are the same. That’s why we tailor every treatment plan to your specific body, lifestyle, and goals.
