WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE THIS ASSESSMENT

WHAT MAY BE CAUSING YOUR SCIATICA?

Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis.

While many people assume a disc is always the cause, there can be several contributing factors.

  • Disc Irritation
    • Changes within a spinal disc may contribute to irritation of nearby nerve tissue.
  • Joint Dysfunction
    • Restricted movement in the joints of the lower back can alter mechanics and increase stress on surrounding structures.
  • Postural Stress
    • Prolonged sitting, poor workstation setup, and repetitive daily positions may place additional stress on the lower back.
  • Muscle Imbalances
    • Tight or weak muscles can change how the body moves and distributes force.
  • Movement Compensation Patterns
    • The body often adapts to restrictions elsewhere, creating additional stress on the neck over time.

HOW DR. GODO APPROACHES SCIATICA

My goal is to help patients better understand how posture, movement, and everyday habits may be influencing their symptoms so that treatment recommendations can be tailored to their individual needs.

Rather than focusing only on where the pain is felt, I look at how the body is functioning as a whole. Often, posture, movement habits, and compensation patterns can contribute to recurring symptoms.

Patients choose Godo Chiropractic because they want a clearer understanding of what may be causing their symptoms—not just temporary relief.

Dr. Godo listened and accessed my pain history. He took time to explain how diet and exercise would increase my recovery to better lifestyle. Can not wait for the second session to further focus on release other tight areas. FYI: Rich at the front reception is on it, friendly and accommodate my assisting myself on take-in.
