Sciatica describes the radiating pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down one or both legs, following the path of the sciatic nerve. It’s not a condition itself — it’s a symptom of an underlying spinal issue, most commonly a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or misalignment pressing on the nerve.

At Spine Design Chiropractic in Jupiter, FL, we focus on finding exactly where and why the nerve is being compressed. Our CBP® evaluation includes posture analysis, orthopedic testing, and diagnostic imaging to pinpoint the structural cause. Once identified, your care plan may include specific adjustments, SpineMED® decompression, and corrective exercises designed to take pressure off the nerve and allow it to heal.

Many patients arrive at our office having been told they need surgery or epidural injections. While those options exist, chiropractic care is a proven, non-invasive approach that addresses the structural cause of sciatica and has helped many of our patients avoid more aggressive interventions.
