Can Chiropractic Help with sciatica
Can Chiropractic Help with sciatica?
Yes, chiropractic care can help sciatica by realigning the spine to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. This non-invasive treatment reduces pain, improves mobility, and supports long-term healing.
Understanding Sciatica
If you're experiencing sharp, shooting pain from your lower back down through your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica. Sciatica isn't just a general back issue—it's a specific nerve-related condition that affects the longest nerve in your body: the sciatic nerve. This condition often causes burning, tingling, or numbness and is typically felt on just one side of the body.
Common triggers for sciatica include prolonged sitting, poor posture, heavy lifting, or even pregnancy. Without proper care, symptoms can worsen over time, making everyday tasks painful and frustrating.
Acute vs. Chronic Sciatica: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the type of sciatica you're experiencing is key to finding the right care. Acute sciatica typically comes on suddenly and may last a few days to weeks. It can be caused by a recent injury, overexertion, or even something as simple as bending the wrong way. While painful, acute sciatica often responds quickly to chiropractic adjustments and postural correction.

(What Most OBs Won’t Tell You About Your Options—Until It’s Too Late)
Yes, chiropractic care—specifically the Webster Technique—can help create space in the pelvis, giving your baby a better chance to move into a head-down position naturally.
Chiropractors don’t manually turn the baby—but your body may, once tension and misalignment are removed.
The Problem Most Women Don’t Hear Until It’s Too Late
If your OB just told you your baby is breech, you were likely given three options:
1 Wait and hope
2 Try an uncomfortable external version
3 Schedule a C-section.
But what they may not have mentioned is that your body can often resolve breech positioning—if the right support is given. That’s where chiropractic care comes in. At United Chiropractic Center of Marietta, Dr. Steve Landry focuses on helping the body create the space the baby needs to move naturally. We support your body’s design, not override it.
Chronic sciatica, on the other hand, lingers for longer than three months and may stem from deeper structural or degenerative issues like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or long-term misalignments. Chiropractic care for chronic cases involves a more structured, ongoing treatment plan designed to reduce nerve irritation, improve function, and strengthen supporting muscles for long-term relief.
Whether your sciatica is acute or chronic, chiropractic care focuses on restoring spinal alignment, reducing inflammation, and enhancing your body’s ability to heal itself naturally.
