Get Relief from Nerve Pain That Radiates
If you’ve ever felt a sharp, radiating pain traveling from your lower back down your leg, you may be experiencing sciatica. This condition occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed. At ReNu Chiropractic in Newport Beach, CA, we help patients from all over Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Orange County find relief from these debilitating symptoms through targeted chiropractic care and nerve-focused therapies.
Our goal is not just temporary relief—but lasting results that restore comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica refers to pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. It’s often caused by disc herniation, spinal misalignment, or tight muscles compressing the nerve.
You may be dealing with sciatica if you experience:
- Shooting or burning pain down one leg
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the feet or toes
- Discomfort that worsens when sitting or standing for long periods
- Sharp pain when coughing, sneezing, or bending
Even though sciatica starts in the back, it often affects the entire lower body—making early evaluation and targeted treatment essential.
Common Causes of Sciatic Nerve Pain
At ReNu Chiropractic, we use advanced diagnostics to uncover what’s triggering your nerve irritation. Common causes include:
- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on the nerve root
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
- Poor posture or misaligned vertebrae
- Muscle tightness in the glutes or piriformis syndrome
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain
- Pregnancy-related back pressure
Our team performs a thorough assessment—including digital X-rays and posture testing—to pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Sciatica
Our approach to sciatica treatment focuses on removing nerve pressure, improving spinal alignment, and supporting full-body healing. Your customized treatment plan may include:
- Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments: Realign the spine to relieve nerve compression
- Spinal Decompression Therapy: Create space between vertebrae and reduce disc pressure.
- Massage Therapy & Myofascial Release: Loosen tight muscles that may be aggravating the nerve.
- Physiotherapy & Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthen core and back muscles for long-term support.
- Manual Therapy Techniques: Improve flexibility, reduce inflammation, and restore natural motion.
By treating both the symptoms and the underlying causes, we help your nervous system heal and restore balance naturally—without drugs or surgery.
Recognizing When to Seek Care
If your shooting pain lasts more than a few days, worsens with movement, or causes weakness or numbness in the leg, it’s time to get evaluated. Ignoring sciatic pain can lead to prolonged inflammation, chronic pain, or even nerve damage.
Early chiropractic intervention promotes faster healing, reduces inflammation, and prevents recurrence.
Advanced Diagnostics and Non-Surgical Treatment Options
At ReNu Chiropractic, our approach to treating sciatica and shooting pains begins with precision. Every patient receives a thorough physical examination and, if needed, imaging studies to identify the exact cause of nerve irritation—whether it’s a herniated disc, slipped disc, or lumbar spinal stenosis. These tests allow us to pinpoint the affected area of the lumbar spine and determine the safest path to recovery.
For most patients, healing starts with non-surgical, minimally invasive methods designed to relieve pressure on the affected nerves. Our spinal decompression therapy uses gentle, controlled stretching to create negative pressure within the spine, helping herniated or bulging discs retract naturally. Each spinal decompression session increases blood flow and nutrient exchange around the discs, promoting long-term tissue repair.
Combined with physical therapy, decompression therapy, and targeted treatment sessions, this approach not only relieves pain but also restores mobility and stability. Patients with lower back pain, pinched nerves, or spinal injuries often notice improvement after just a few visits.
In more severe cases—such as chronic lumbar spinal stenosis or past spine surgery—our chiropractors collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure a complete recovery plan tailored to your needs. From your initial consultation to your final treatment session, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and long-term wellness.
