Help for Sciatica in York
If you’ve ever felt sharp pain shooting from your lower back down into your leg, you know how disruptive sciatica can be. It’s one of the most common conditions we see in our York office, and many of our patients have found meaningful relief through gentle chiropractic care.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body, becomes irritated or compressed. This nerve is formed by five roots that exit from the lower part of your spine and travel down to your feet. When pressure builds on these nerves, it can cause pain, tingling, burning, or numbness that radiates down one or both legs.
This discomfort may come and go, or it can linger for days or weeks at a time. In many cases, a spinal misalignment or pelvic imbalance places stress on the lower back, triggering nerve irritation that leads to sciatica.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractors often find that subluxations, or misalignments in the spine or pelvis, can interfere with nerve communication and contribute to sciatic pain. Our goal is to locate and correct these subluxations with gentle, precise adjustments.
These adjustments help restore healthy motion to the joints, reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve, and improve how your nervous system functions. Many patients notice not only pain relief but also better mobility, energy, and comfort in their day-to-day lives.

In addition, I feel confident that the background knowledge your office provided me about potential issues occurring in my spine will assist me in my recovery over the next few months.

What to Expect
Your first visit includes a thorough assessment of your spine, posture, and nerve function.
