Sciatica Treatment in Phoenix
Sciatica is a symptom — almost always a compressed or irritated nerve root in the lower back or pelvis. Our exam identifies the level; our combined adjustment, decompression, and laser protocol resolves it for the long term in most cases.
Signs you should be seen
- Sharp or burning pain down one leg
- Numbness or tingling in the foot
- Pain that worsens when sitting
- Weakness lifting the foot or rising on toes
How we treat it
- Posture, neurological, and digital spinal exam
- Gentle adjustments (instrument or manual — your choice)
- Cold laser therapy to reduce inflammation and speed healing
- Spinal decompression where disc or nerve pressure is involved
- Home corrective exercises through the Brain Spine Posture Academy
