Sciatica Treatment in Fairfax

The pain of sciatica can be debilitating. When your lower back hurts even when you sit, stand and sleep, you want relief. Sciatica also interferes with leg function as it can create leg pain, leg weakness and leg numbness. Our Fairfax VA chiropractor has sciatica treatment options. At Circle Chiropractic Center, we address your sciatica to provide you with immediate and lasting relief. 

Our Fairfax chiropractor, Dr. Frey, evaluates your condition to determine why your sciatic nerve is acting up. His goal is to eliminate the cause of your sciatica, not just treat the symptoms. We offer a drug-free approach to your sciatica so that your condition is alleviated, not just covered up. Our friendly staff will assist you throughout your sciatica treatments and guide you in the right direction to reduce sciatica from happening again.

Sciatica Treatment Options with Our Fairfax Chiropractor

Circle Chiropractic Center provides a variety of treatment approaches to reduce your sciatica. First, we examine your lower back and may use x-rays to give us a better understanding of your spinal position and how that is affecting your sciatic nerve. If the nerve is being compressed due to a subluxation, which is a vertebrae out of alignment, Dr Frey will adjust your spine to alleviate the compression. Other causes for sciatica include:

• a decrease in the spinal canal from which the sciatic nerve exits the spinal column

• disc herniation in which the cushiony fluid leaks out of its designated area and slides into the area where the sciatic nerve is located

• degenerative disc disease in which the shock-absorbing discs between the vertebrae begin to weaken

•  Spondylolisthesis which is a fracture in your back that causes a shift of the vertebrae
