DO THESE SCIATICA SYMPTOMS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Sciatica can affect people differently, but many patients describe:
  • Pain traveling down one leg
  • Burning, tingling, or numbness
  • Pain that worsens when sitting
  • Pain that increases when standing or walking
  • Weakness in the leg or foot
  • Discomfort that comes and goes but keeps returning
If these symptoms sound familiar, you’re not alone. Sciatica is one of the most common reasons patients seek care in my office.

CAN CHIROPRACTIC HELP SCIATICA?

Many cases of sciatica involve irritation or pressure affecting the sciatic nerve. The challenge is that the symptoms you feel in your leg are not always coming from the leg itself.

Sciatica symptoms may be associated with:

  • Disc irritation
  • Joint dysfunction
  • Postural stress
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Movement compensation patterns
The first step is identifying what may be contributing to your symptoms so an appropriate treatment plan can be developed.

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.

Paul J.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Godo. He genuinely cares for his patients and often goes above and beyond (including outside of appointments where he will send articles that he thinks will help you). He has worked his way into my very small circle of trusted health advisors.
Mark D.
Dr. Godo is the best! He really listens to you and supports your overall well-being. 100% recommend going to him. The office is in a great location and Rich, the office manager, is so friendly and welcoming!
Monika M.
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.
