Finding the Source

What’s Actually Causing Your Sciatica?

“Sciatica” is the symptom, not the diagnosis. Which of these is driving yours decides how we treat it — so we identify it on day one.

Most Common

Herniated Disc Sciatica

A lumbar disc — usually L4–L5 or L5–S1 — presses straight onto the nerve root. The most common cause, and the first thing we rule in or out.

Often Missed

Piriformis Syndrome

The piriformis muscle clamps down on the sciatic nerve in the glute. No disc involved, which is why scans often come back clean.

Gradual Onset

Spinal Stenosis

The spinal canal narrows and crowds the nerve roots. Builds gradually, and usually eases when you sit or lean forward.

Commonly Confused

SI Joint Dysfunction

The joint where your spine meets your pelvis stops moving properly — and mimics sciatica closely enough to be mistaken for it.

Who We Help

Wherever You Are With It, the Fix Is the Same

Where you are changes the timeline — not the approach.

Acute Sciatica

It Started Recently and It’s Stopping You Cold

Sharp, shooting pain down one leg after a lift, a twist, or a long drive. Caught early, this is the fastest kind to settle.

Chronic & Recurring

It Comes Back, Sometimes Worse

It backs off, then comes back — often worse. That pattern means the compression was quieted, never resolved.

Tried Other Treatments

Cortisone, PT, or Surgery on the Table

Injections, physical therapy, maybe a surgical consult already on the table. If the relief didn’t hold, the source is still there.

How We Treat It

Taking the Pressure Off the Nerve — Without the Twisting.

Sciatica doesn’t need force to resolve. It needs the pressure taken off the nerve. We use the Torque Release Technique — a handheld instrument delivering a precise, low-force adjustment to the exact segment causing it. No twisting, no cracking, nothing that aggravates an already-angry nerve.

If cortisone, physical therapy or another chiropractor didn’t hold, it’s usually because the compression itself was never addressed. That’s what we go after — and most patients feel the difference within the first few visits.

Real Patients, Real Relief

From Barely Walking to Back in Motion

These are real people from Prosper and the surrounding area who came in for sciatica — many after injections, PT, or other chiropractors didn’t resolve it.

From Barely Walking

"14 months ago, I could barely walk due to sciatica. After being treated by Dr. Jake, I am back at the gym and bike riding on a regular basis. My back feels better than it has in 15 years and I did 5 one hundred mile bike rides over the summer. Many thanks Dr. Jake!"

Cortisone Failed Me

"I came in initially for sciatica. I had had 2 other rounds of cortisone shots and I did not want that anymore. After just 4 visits, Dr. Jake had my sciatica completely healed and it has stayed that way."

Tried 3 Other Chiros

"I began seeing Dr Jake at Restoration Chiropractic years ago with a sciatica issue that wasn’t helped by three other chiropractors in the area. His knowledge and skill using the torque technique IS what healed me and keeps me from the pain I’ve had."

Related Conditions

Sciatica Often Comes With Other Symptoms

Sciatica rarely arrives alone — the same lumbar dysfunction that’s irritating the sciatic nerve often produces other patterns we treat alongside it.

Herniated & Bulging Disc

A lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common causes of sciatica — treating the disc itself is often what resolves the nerve pain.

Back Pain

Sciatica almost always co-occurs with lower back pain — both stem from the same lumbar dysfunction.

Pinched Nerve

Sciatica is one form of pinched nerve, but the same compression patterns can affect the neck, shoulders, and arms too.

Personal & Auto Injuries

Sciatica that started after a car accident, fall, or workplace injury — addressed early to prevent it becoming chronic.

Hip & Knee Pain

Hip pain and sciatica are often confused — and one frequently disguises the other. The right evaluation tells you which.

Neck Pain

When the lumbar spine is misaligned, compensation patterns travel up the spine — often surfacing as neck and upper-back pain.

Headaches & Migraines

Tension headaches often accompany lower-back dysfunction through the chain of compensation along the spine.

Common Questions

Answers About Sciatica Treatment

What does a sciatica chiropractor do?

We find which structure is compressing your sciatic nerve — a lumbar disc, the piriformis, stenosis or the SI joint — and treat that, not the leg pain. Digital X-rays and a nervous system scan on your first visit tell us which one it is before we adjust anything.

How long does it take to feel relief from sciatica?

Many patients feel a real difference within the first few visits, especially with acute sciatica. Longer-standing cases usually take several weeks. After we’ve seen your scans you get a realistic timeline — not a guess.

Can a chiropractor help if cortisone shots or physical therapy haven’t worked?

Often, yes. Injections calm inflammation and physical therapy addresses movement, but neither takes mechanical pressure off the nerve. If your relief didn’t hold, that’s usually why.

Do I need to consider surgery for sciatica?

Rarely, and rarely first. The large majority of sciatica responds to conservative care. If we see something that genuinely needs a surgical opinion, we’ll tell you straight.

How much does sciatica treatment cost in Prosper?

Your first visit covers the full evaluation, on-site digital X-rays, nervous system scan, doctor’s report and first treatment. We’re transparent about cost before you commit to anything. Call (972) 818-5820 for current first-visit pricing.

Will the adjustment hurt or make my sciatica worse?

No. The Torque Release Technique uses a handheld instrument for a precise, low-force adjustment — no twisting, no cracking. It’s specifically suited to irritated nerves and disc cases.

Do I need a referral or insurance to come in?

No referral needed, and we see patients regardless of insurance status. You can book online and usually be seen the same week.
