Sciatica causes pain that radiates from the lower back through the hip and down the leg, following the path of the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic care is highly effective for sciatica because it addresses the underlying spinal misalignments and disc problems that compress the sciatic nerve. By restoring proper spinal alignment and reducing disc bulging, chiropractic treatment relieves nerve pressure and eliminates sciatic pain.
Your chiropractor will perform neurological tests and possibly order imaging to identify the exact cause of your sciatica. Treatment focuses on reducing nerve compression through specific adjustments and decompression techniques. Most patients experience significant relief within 4-6 weeks, though severe cases may take 8-12 weeks. Many patients avoid surgery through conservative chiropractic care.

"Patient reported to our office suffering from sciatica, low back pain and hip pain of one year duration. He found that he was most uncomfortable in his work truck due to lack of support and long hours driving. The pain had been worsening over the last 12 months and was not resolving even after receiving treatment from multiple providers (PCP, PT, DC, etc). He had been having trouble working through the pain when driving, sitting, sleeping, and when fishing. He was concerned he would require surgery to get the relief that he desired. He had seen his motion reduced, his body get weaker, and his pain continue to become unmanageable in the last year. He was evaluated and diagnosed in our office, accepted for care, and was tolerant and compliant with all recommendations. He achieved the majority of his goals for care with minimal residuals. He could drive, sleep, work and fish with much less debilitating pain for longer periods of time. He was also recovering faster during flare-ups."

"Patient came in with a cervical disc herniation, 8/10 pain radiating into the hands, and bilateral hand numbness — even after cervical fusion surgery. Years of pain management, injections, and medication had not resolved it. X-rays showed subluxations above and below the fusion site — the segments the surgery left compensating. Dr. Foss used diversified adjusting, SOT Category 2 blocking, and cranial sphenobasilar adjustment, carefully working around the fusion. After 3 months of care: total resolution of the hand numbness and a greatly improved quality of life — after years where injections and medication couldn't get there."
"Patient stated that he was having a difficult time getting in and out of the car, had no energy to play with his young son after work, and was unable to play tennis or pickleball when he came to your office.

"A receptionist in her late forties presented with severe recurring headaches and persistent neck tension rated 9/10, along with numbness in her hands and fingers and restricted cervical range of motion. She had already been through physical therapy, injections, and cervical x-rays taken by another chiropractor without lasting improvement. Dr. Lee found the headaches were not a primary condition but a downstream effect of cervical tension and nerve involvement, with the finger numbness pointing to the same cervical source. Over five months of Network Spinal entrainments her pain dropped to 2/10, her headaches resolved, the numbness in her hands and fingers resolved, and her cervical range of motion returned. A patient who had cycled through physical therapy, injections, and imaging for severe headaches found resolution when care addressed the tension pattern generating them rather than the head pain itself."
"An active, health-conscious software programmer in his late forties presented with chronic low back pain he had carried for years, rated 9/10, along with neck tension and numbness. He had been managed medically with injections without lasting relief and had never seen a chiropractor. Rather than treating each region separately, care addressed a single connected tension pattern held through the spine. Over six months of Network Spinal entrainments, his pain dropped to 2/10 and his chronic low back pain resolved. His sleep and digestion improved, and he returned to running, gym training, and yoga without the flexion, extension, and lifting restrictions that had limited him."

"Patient had undergone two rounds of IVF — both unsuccessful. She had tried acupuncture. Nothing worked. She also had low back pain 8/10 with a lumbar disc herniation. Dr. Foss identified a SOT Category 2 pelvic imbalance — the pelvis houses the reproductive organs, and structural misalignment can compromise nerve supply and blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. SOT Category 2 blocking restored proper pelvic alignment. At two months of care, she reported she was pregnant — naturally, without any additional IVF. Low back pain resolved to 0/10. She continued maintenance care through pregnancy. Healthy pregnancy, no complications, natural birth — no C-section."

He was often teased by family members for walking "slow, like an old man" because his back and feet hurt so much he had to shuffle his steps. His pain was described as constant, tense, ache, and occasional sharp when severe. He frequently had to call in to work because he could not fulfill the demands of his physically demanding position. In addition, he reported he felt weak and fatigued. He was examined, diagnosed, and recommended a treatment plan to correct his condition.

She thought it would "self-resolve" but it never actually got any better. Four weeks prior to her evaluation the pain worsened and also began to travel into her left leg. A severely tight muscle spasm and grabbing/cramping leg pain developed and caused the patient to be unable to perform a sit-up, lay on her back, sleep through the night, walk 15 feet without rest, twist and bend, and even move and play with kids. It became so bad that she had to go to the Emergency Room where no treatment was provided and she was left frustrated and hurting. She self-referred to our office, was accepted for care to correct the cause of the problem, was compliant with recommendations, and achieved amazing improvement.
