Chiropractic care in North Riverside

Sciatica and leg pain

Sciatica is pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from the low back down the leg. It usually comes from pressure on a nerve root in the lower spine, often from a disc.

How Dr. Mike treats it

Dr. Mike's exam narrows down which nerve is involved and why. Care is usually adjustments and traction to take pressure off the nerve, with other therapies when they help.

Your first visit

A consultation and exam, so plan a little extra time. Bring your insurance card and a list of what hurts. Dr. Mike will tell you honestly whether he can help.

When not to wait: Get emergency care if leg weakness is getting worse, or if you have numbness in the groin or trouble controlling your bladder or bowels.
