Sciatica Treatment

In Plain Terms
Sciatica is what you feel when something crowds the sciatic nerve. When a disc or joint structure presses on the nerve path, pain, numbness, and burning can travel from the low back down the leg. Treating only the leg leaves the structural cause in place.
That is why sciatica care at MaxLiving Wixom starts with a full structural exam. Most care chases the ache. Corrective care relieves the pressure behind it.
The Care Paths
How we treat sciatica here
Your exam decides which path relieves the nerve pressure, and whether both belong in your plan.
Corrective Chiropractic
For the structural cause: specific adjustments on a written plan that address the joints and alignment feeding the nerve irritation.
About this care pathOne Coordinated Plan
Sciatica often has more than one driver. Your exam decides whether decompression, corrective adjustments, or both belong in your plan.
When a disc is the driverDo Not Wait It Out
When sciatica deserves an exam
Nerve pressure rarely resolves on its own. When these show up, the source is worth an honest look:
- Pain that shoots from the low back into the leg.
- Numbness or tingling down the back of the leg.
- A burning or electric sensation past the knee.
- Weakness in the foot or leg.
- Pain that worsens with sitting or standing too long.
- Relief that never lasts more than a day or two.
When a disc is the driver, sciatica routes to decompression. A full structural exam confirms where the nerve is being crowded, then spinal decompression relieves that pressure directly, often alongside corrective chiropractic. If a herniated disc is found, it is treated as part of the same plan.
Why MaxLiving Wixom · Exam First
We relieve the pressure behind your sciatica, not just the leg pain.
Sciatica care at MaxLiving Wixom is built on the MaxLiving 5 Essentials approach to whole-body health and led by Dr. Chris Niedzinski, DC. The exam confirms where the nerve is crowded, then decides whether your plan leads with spinal decompression, corrective adjustments, or both.
