Find Lasting Relief from Sciatica Pain

If you're dealing with shooting leg pain, numbness, or tingling that won’t go away, it could be sciatica. At Restorative Care Chiropractic in Peachtree City, we help you address the root of the problem — naturally, gently, and effectively.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. The pain can radiate from your lower back down into your hip, leg, or even into your foot.

Common symptoms of sciatica include:

  • Sharp, shooting, or burning pain in one leg

  • Numbness, tingling, or a “pins and needles” sensation

  • Weakness in the affected leg or foot

  • Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or bending

  • Difficulty walking or standing up straight

Sciatica often stems from spinal misalignments, disc issues, muscle tightness (like piriformis syndrome), or even SI joint dysfunction — all things chiropractic care is uniquely equipped to address.

How Chiropractic Care Helps with Sciatica

Chiropractic care doesn’t just mask the pain — it corrects the underlying issue that’s putting pressure on the sciatic nerve in the first place.

Here’s how we help:

  • Spinal Adjustments Gentle, targeted adjustments to the lumbar spine and pelvis relieve pressure on irritated nerves and restore proper alignment.
  • Dolphin Neurostim Therapy This advanced microcurrent therapy helps release tight muscles and soothe nerve inflammation, especially around the glutes, lower back, and hips.
  • Pelvic & SI Joint Realignment When the pelvis is misaligned, it can pull on soft tissue and compress the sciatic nerve — we restore balance to support healing.
  • Kinesiology Taping We use KT Tape to enhance recovery, reduce pain, and support the healing process.
  • Postural and Gait Corrections We assess how you sit, walk, and move — correcting patterns that keep aggravating your sciatic nerve.
  • Custom Home Exercise You'll receive stretches and strengthening exercises to stabilize your spine and prevent flare-ups long term.

The result? Less pain, more mobility, and a return to doing what you love — without relying on painkillers or injections.

Who We Help with Sciatica

We commonly help:

  • Office workers and drivers who sit for long periods

  • Parents or caregivers lifting children or doing repetitive tasks

  • Golfers, runners, and athletes who rotate or twist frequently

  • Middle-aged adults managing disc degeneration or spinal arthritis

  • Pregnant and postpartum women experiencing sciatic-like pain from pelvic changes

Whether your sciatica came on suddenly or has been lingering for years, we’ll meet you where you are and build a plan that works with your lifestyle.

Sciatica in Athletes and Active Adults

You don’t have to be a professional athlete to suffer from performance-limiting pain — especially when it comes to sciatica. Sports like golf, tennis, pickleball, and running place repeated stress on the lower back, hips, and glutes — all areas closely connected to the sciatic nerve.

Common sciatica triggers in active adults include:

  • Tight glute or piriformis muscles compressing the sciatic nerve
  • Rotational strain from repetitive swings in golf or tennis
  • Prolonged running with pelvic or core imbalance
  • Poor movement patterns or weak core muscles leading to nerve irritation
  • Past injuries creating spinal misalignments that go unaddressed

At Restorative Care Chiropractic, we specialize in helping active adults move and perform pain-free.
We combine gentle chiropractic adjustments, Dolphin Neurostim therapy, Shockwave and sport-specific movement correction to release nerve pressure, improve mobility, and prevent re-injury.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, training for your next tournament, or just trying to get through your weekly games without pain, we’ll help you get back in the game — safely and confidently.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Sciatic pain can be overwhelming, but we make care simple and supportive.

Here’s what to expect on your first visit:

  1. One-on-One Consultation
    We’ll take the time to understand your symptoms, history, and how your pain is affecting daily life.

  2. Thorough Physical Exam
    We assess spinal alignment, joint motion, nerve function, and muscle tension — especially in the lower back, hips, and legs.

  3. Targeted Chiropractic Care
    We’ll begin gentle adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and/or Dolphin Neurostim treatment to start reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve.

  4. Home Support Plan
    You’ll receive posture tips, movement strategies, and custom exercises to speed up your recovery and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sciatica always caused by a herniated disc?
No. While disc issues are common, many cases come from muscle tightness, joint misalignment, or pelvic imbalance — all treatable with chiropractic care.

How long does it take to feel better?
Some patients feel relief after just a few visits, while others with chronic sciatica may need a few weeks of consistent care.

Do I need imaging before starting care?
Not always. If your case warrants it, we’ll refer you for imaging. Most patients can safely begin care after a thorough exam.

Is chiropractic safe for sciatic nerve pain?
Yes. We use gentle, low-force techniques to relieve pressure on the nerve without causing discomfort.
