Understanding Sciatica and How We Can Help

Sciatica is one of the most common and debilitating forms of back and leg pain. If you’ve ever experienced a sharp, burning pain that radiates from your lower back down through your buttock and leg, you know just how disruptive it can be to daily life. The good news? At MacKenzie SDI, we specialize in treating sciatica with highly effective, non-surgical approaches.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to pain that follows the path of the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. It typically occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, most commonly due to a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica

• Sharp or burning pain in the lower back, buttock, or leg

• Numbness or tingling sensation down the leg

• Muscle weakness in the affected leg or foot

• Pain that worsens when sitting for long periods

• Difficulty standing or walking due to pain

How MacKenzie SDI Treats Sciatica

Our approach to treating sciatica is comprehensive and personalized. We combine the most effective non-invasive therapies to address the underlying cause of your nerve compression and relieve your pain:

• Spinal Decompression: Gently relieves pressure on the sciatic nerve by creating space between compressed vertebrae and discs.

• Laser Therapy: Reduces inflammation around the nerve and promotes tissue healing to speed up recovery.

• SoftWave Therapy: Stimulates regenerative healing in damaged tissues contributing to nerve compression.

• Chiropractic Adjustments: Restore proper spinal alignment to remove mechanical stress on the sciatic nerve.

Don't Let Sciatica Control Your Life

Sciatica rarely goes away on its own, and delaying treatment can lead to worsening symptoms and longer recovery times. The sooner you seek care, the sooner you’ll find relief.

At MacKenzie SDI, we’ve helped countless patients overcome sciatica and reclaim their lives — without surgery or medication.
