About This Service
About Our Sciatica Care
Sciatica is less a diagnosis than a description — pain travelling along the path of the sciatic nerve, from the low back through the buttock and down the leg. What matters clinically is why that nerve is being irritated, because the answer changes the treatment entirely.
It might be a disc pressing where it should not, a misaligned pelvis, degenerative narrowing, or muscular compression. We examine to find out which, rather than treating every leg pain the same way.
- Examination that identifies the actual source of nerve irritation
- Imaging where clinically appropriate, so we are not guessing
- Chiropractic Biophysics correction of the underlying structure
- Specific exercises to take pressure off the nerve
- An honest assessment if your case needs a different kind of care

Our Approach
Why Sciatica Keeps Coming Back
Most sciatica calms down on its own eventually, which is exactly why it tends to return. The flare settles, people assume it is resolved, and the structural problem that irritated the nerve is still sitting there waiting for the next long drive.
Corrective care aims at that underlying structure. When the mechanics change, the nerve stops being irritated in the first place — a different outcome than waiting out each episode and hoping the gap between them stays long.
Common Questions
Questions Patients Ask Us
How long does sciatica take to heal?
It varies considerably depending on what is irritating the nerve and how long it has been going on. Some patients notice change within a few weeks; structural correction takes longer. Your examination will give you specific expectations rather than a generic timeline.
Should I rest or stay active with sciatica?
Prolonged bed rest is generally not recommended for sciatica. Appropriate movement is usually part of recovery, but which movements help depends on what is causing your symptoms, which is why examination comes first.
Can a chiropractor help sciatica?
Sciatica frequently originates from structural problems in the lower back and pelvis, which is precisely what chiropractic examination and care addresses. We evaluate first to confirm the source.
When should I be concerned about sciatica?
Progressive weakness, symptoms in both legs, or any loss of bowel or bladder control require immediate medical attention. If you have these, seek emergency care rather than booking an appointment.

Verified Patient“Having recently moved to Loveland, I was seeking a chiropractor closer to my home. I had a few unpleasant experiences with other Loveland chiropractic companies that are what I call ‘commercial chiropractic.’ Dr. Flemming’s passion for his practice was obvious to me from the first meeting. With every adjustment, I feel my body improve.”
