Understanding Sciatica

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is nerve pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, running from your lower back through the hips and down each leg.

It is usually a symptom of an underlying problem, most often a herniated or bulging disc pressing on a nerve root. Because it starts with the disc, treating the source is the key to lasting relief rather than only easing the pain.

Common signs & symptoms

  • Shooting or burning pain down one leg
  • Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
  • Pain that worsens when sitting or standing
  • Weakness in the leg or foot
  • A sharp jolt with certain movements
  • Pain that starts in the lower back or buttock

Questions & Answers

Sciatica: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about non-surgical sciatica treatment in Toronto & Vaughan.

What causes sciatica?
Sciatica is most often caused by a herniated or bulging disc pressing on a nerve root in the lower spine. Other causes include spinal stenosis and, less commonly, injury or muscle irritation.
Can sciatica be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many cases respond well to non-surgical care. We use spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, and Disc Renewal Plus™ to relieve pressure on the nerve and support healing.
How does spinal decompression help sciatica?
Decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on the compressed nerve root that is causing the pain. This can ease the shooting and radiating pain that runs down the leg.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Treatment is comfortable and non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions. Many people find the sessions relaxing.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the cause and how long you have had it. Chronic cases usually respond best to a series of sessions. We map out a recommended plan during your assessment.
How soon will I feel relief?
Responses vary. Some people notice changes early, while others improve gradually over their course of care. Your provider tracks your progress at each visit.
