Sciatica & Disc Relief:
Stop the Shooting Pain
That electric shock traveling down your leg isn't just a muscle ache—it's a pinched nerve. Whether it's caused by a herniated disc or piriformis syndrome, we treat the root cause to relieve pressure without surgery.
Is It Sciatica?
⚡ The "Electric" Zinger
Sharp, shooting pain that travels from your lower back, through the glute, and down the back of one leg.
🛑 Numbness & Tingling
Pins and needles sensations in the calf or foot, often accompanied by "dead leg" feelings or weakness.
🪑 Worse When Sitting
Pain that intensifies significantly when driving, sitting at a desk, or leaning forward (flexion intolerant).
📉 Drop Foot
Difficulty lifting your toes while walking, causing you to trip or drag your foot (a sign of severe nerve compression).
"I couldn't drive my car for more than 15 minutes without burning pain down my right leg. My doctor suggested injections, but I wanted to fix it naturally. After 3 weeks of precision adjustments and PEMF at Optimum Health, I drove to Wisconsin pain-free."
The Non-Surgical Protocol
We focus on restoring spinal mechanics and accelerating nerve healing without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
1. Precision Adjustments
Misaligned vertebrae (Subluxations) at L4, L5, or the Sacrum can pinch the nerve root. We use gentle, specific adjustments to restore proper alignment and motion, immediately reducing pressure on the nerve.
2. Accelerated Nerve Healing (PEMF & Red Light)
We combine PEMF Therapy and Red Light Therapy to directly recharge damaged nerve cells, accelerating healing, reducing inflammation, and calming that painful shooting signal.
3. Nerve Flossing & Rehab
Once the pressure is off, we use specific "nerve flossing" exercises to ensure the sciatic nerve glides freely without catching or irritation, building long-term resilience and flexibility.
Common Questions
How long does sciatica take to heal?
Nerves heal slowly. While many patients feel relief within a few visits, fully stabilizing a disc issue typically takes a 6-8 week care plan to prevent recurrence.
Do I need an MRI?
We start with a comprehensive physical and orthopedic exam. If we suspect severe disc damage or if you aren't responding to care, we will refer you for imaging.
