Does your sciatica do any of this?
Check everything that sounds like you.
A disc, tight hip muscles, or the way you sit, bend, and move are often the real cause. The good news: that's exactly what we find and fix.
Find Out What's Causing Yours
Stretching, pills, and injections treat where it hurts. They don't fix why it hurts.
Sciatica isn't just back pain. It's a nerve problem that takes over your day: sitting is miserable, standing is exhausting, and every step feels like a gamble. Most people are told to stretch, rest, or try injections, but those rarely fix why the nerve is irritated. The most common overlooked causes:
- Disc herniations or bulges pressing on the nerve
- Tight hip or piriformis muscles that squeeze the nerve
- Sitting and standing posture that keeps the nerve irritated
- Core weakness or poor hip and pelvic control
- Going back to normal life without restoring strength or confidence

Common questions about sciatica treatment
Do I need an MRI or X-ray first?
Most people don't need imaging to get started. Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation, and if we find anything that needs further testing, we'll tell you and help coordinate with your doctor.
When should I see a doctor right away?
Get emergency medical care if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or weakness in your leg that's getting worse. These are rare but serious signs that need immediate attention.
Should I stretch my sciatica?
It depends on what's irritating the nerve. Some stretches help, while others, especially aggressive hamstring or piriformis stretching, can make a sensitive nerve worse. We'll show you exactly which movements calm your symptoms.
Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery or injections?
For many people, yes. Most sciatica improves with the right movement, strength work, and changes to how you sit and move. If anything suggests you need a surgical opinion, we'll tell you honestly and help coordinate your care.
