Sciatica Care in San Antonio, TX
Lasting Relief for Shooting Leg Pain and Nerve Irritation
If you’re living with sciatica, you know how intensely it can disrupt your life. The sharp, burning pain that radiates from your lower back down into your hips, buttocks, or legs can make it hard to walk, sit comfortably, or even sleep. Many patients also describe numbness, tingling, or weakness that makes them fear each step might bring a new flare-up.
At Aloha Wellness – Chiropractic and Nutrition, we specialize in finding and fixing the real causes of sciatica. By addressing spinal misalignments, nerve pressure, muscle imbalances, and the lifestyle factors that keep irritating the sciatic nerve, we help patients find real, long-term relief — without heavy reliance on painkillers or invasive procedures.
What is Sciatica?
Sciatica is not a standalone condition — it’s a term for irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. This nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg.
Common causes include:
Herniated or bulging discs pressing on nerve roots in the lumbar spine.
Spinal misalignments (subluxations) that reduce space for nerves exiting the spine.
Piriformis syndrome, where a tight muscle in the buttocks squeezes the sciatic nerve.
Degenerative disc disease that narrows nerve openings (foraminal stenosis).
Even poor posture, repetitive bending, or sitting for long periods can inflame tissues around the nerve.
Typical symptoms:
Sharp, burning, or electric-like pain that travels from the lower back into the leg.
Numbness or tingling in the thigh, calf, or foot.
Weakness that makes it hard to stand, climb stairs, or keep balance.
Pain often worse when sitting, bending, or rising from a chair.
How We Help Sciatica at Aloha Wellness
Gentle Chiropractic Adjustments
Precise adjustments restore proper alignment in the spine and pelvis, reducing pressure on irritated nerve roots. This creates more space around the sciatic nerve, calming inflammation and allowing healing to begin.
Muscle Testing & Functional Balancing
Through advanced muscle testing, we identify tight muscles (like the piriformis or hamstrings) and weak stabilizers that contribute to nerve entrapment. We then develop a simple plan to stretch, strengthen, and rebalance.
Addressing Posture & Everyday Movement
We teach you how to sit, stand, lift, and even sleep in ways that reduce stress on the lower back and hips. These small daily changes can dramatically cut down nerve irritation.
Nutrition & Inflammation Support
Through Nutrition Response Testing, we uncover hidden dietary factors or stressors that keep inflammation high. Whole-food nutrition and targeted supplements support nerve tissue repair and calm chronic irritation.
