Sciatica is one of the most debilitating conditions we treat at Well Health Centers in Brentwood. That sharp, burning, or shooting pain that radiates from your lower back down through your hip, buttock, and leg is not just back pain — it is your sciatic nerve being compressed or irritated, and it needs to be corrected at the source.

What Is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower spine down through each leg. When the vertebrae in your lumbar spine shift out of alignment, or when a disc herniates and presses against the nerve root, the result is the characteristic radiating pain known as sciatica. Left untreated, it tends to worsen — not improve — over time.

How We Treat Sciatica in Brentwood

Our Brentwood chiropractors use lumbar adjustments and red light therapy to relieve the nerve pressure causing your sciatica. Rather than masking the pain with injections or medication, we correct the structural problem causing it. Many patients begin experiencing relief within their first few visits.
