The sciatic nerves are the largest nerve in the body. Pain can travel anywhere from the middle of the low back into the buttocks, down the back of the leg, and even to the ankle. Pain increases when arising from a seated position making it very difficult or even impossible to straighten up. Leg pain may be present with or without back pain.
Conservative treatment of sciatica utilizing chiropractic adjustments is highly effective in reducing sciatic nerve inflammation and pain. Taking medications may make the overall problem worse by masking your body’s natural defense mechanism. Your body is sending pain signals to your brain in order to prevent you from moving certain ways that could potentially further injure the back.
Testimonials from Patients
This morning as I was getting my adjustment, I realized that the last time I came I had a huge painful not in my back/chest areas are and I could hardly move and then I got an adjustment and I never got that pain again. That was great! And now I feel great — all shaped up! And relaxed!
Thank you so much!

For the past years, I’ve experienced shooting pain and discomfort down my legs. Since I’ve been treated by Dr. Cooper, I have been pain free!
Thanks, and keep the good work up!
