Sciatica Treatment
Are you experiencing sharp, shooting pains that radiate down your leg? You may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body that runs from your lower back down each leg becomes compressed or irritated. This causes sensations of burning, tingling and numbness along the path of the sciatic nerve.

What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is not just a simple backache. It’s caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. This condition can lead to intense pain, numbness, and even weakness that radiates from your lower back down to your legs. Whether it’s a mild discomfort or a sharp, shooting pain, sciatica can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming.
But you don’t have to live with this pain.
Signs You May Have Sciatica
Are you unsure if your pain is related to sciatica? Here are some common signs to watch out for:
- Lower back pain that radiates to your leg or foot
- Tingling or numbness in your legs or feet
- Sharp, shooting pain that worsens with movement
- Weakness in your legs
If these symptoms sound familiar, our specialists at True Health Studio can provide the diagnosis and care you need. Don’t wait until the pain becomes unbearable—early treatment leads to faster recovery.

Chiropractic Treatment for Sciatica
Many cases of sciatica are caused by misalignments or subluxations in the lower spine that place pressure on the sciatic nerve. Our chiropractor, Dr. Marcus Wong, will perform specific spinal adjustments and manipulations to realign the vertebrae, taking pressure off the affected nerve. Chiropractic care often provides immediate relief from sciatica symptoms.
Massage Therapy for Sciatic Nerve Pain
Registered massage therapists Andy Li and Petra Suzuki are trained in techniques that can help alleviate sciatic pain. Deep tissue massage is used to break up scar tissue and muscle knots along the path of the sciatic nerve. Trigger point therapy targets tight, painful areas to relax the muscles and increase circulation. Massage has been shown to reduce inflammation that causes nerve compression.
Acupuncture for Sciatica
Acupuncturist Edmond Chen treats sciatica by inserting thin needles into specific points. This stimulates the release of endorphins, which help relieve pain. Acupuncture also reduces inflammation and promotes muscle relaxation. Clinical studies have found acupuncture as effective as medications for sciatica symptoms.
Custom Orthotics for Sciatica
Our chiropractors design custom-made orthotic insoles to support the feet and lower extremities, taking pressure off the lower back and sciatic nerve. Orthotics address imperfections in movement, posture and foot positioning that often underlie sciatic nerve irritation. Used in combination with chiropractic adjustments, orthotics help keep the spine properly aligned to prevent future sciatica episodes.
Sciatica Prevention through Core Strengthening
A weakened core puts excess mechanical stress on the lower spine, leading to disk issues and nerve impingement over time. True Health’s practitioners will design a tailored core-strengthening program to build up deep abdominal and back muscles. Strong core musculature improves posture, takes weight off spinal structures and prevents future sciatica by supporting the spine during activities.
