Can chiropractic really help sciatica?

Yes — chiropractic care is highly effective for sciatica. Research shows that 60% of sciatica patients who had failed other treatments responded well to chiropractic adjustments. By addressing the underlying spinal compression on the sciatic nerve, we relieve pain at the source rather than just managing symptoms.

How long until I feel relief from sciatica?

Many patients notice improvement after their first 1-2 adjustments. Significant relief typically comes within 2-4 weeks of consistent care. Chronic sciatica that has persisted for months takes longer to resolve than acute cases. Dr. Frazier will give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your scans.

Is it safe to adjust my spine if I have a herniated disc?

Yes. Dr. Frazier uses gentle techniques specifically designed for disc-related sciatica. We perform a thorough evaluation first and modify our approach based on your condition. Many herniated disc patients avoid surgery entirely thanks to chiropractic care.

Will I need surgery for my sciatica?

Most sciatica cases do not require surgery. Studies show that 90% of patients improve with conservative care like chiropractic. Surgery should only be considered if conservative treatment fails after several months, or if you have severe progressive neurological deficits. Many of our patients come as a last resort before surgery and avoid it completely.

What is the difference between sciatica and regular back pain?

Regular back pain is usually localized to the back. Sciatica specifically refers to pain that travels along the sciatic nerve — down through the buttock and into the leg, sometimes reaching the foot. It may also cause numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. This radiating pattern is the hallmark of sciatic nerve compression.

Does insurance cover sciatica treatment?

Most insurance plans cover chiropractic care for sciatica. We accept most major insurance providers. Call our office at (402) 650-0090 to verify your specific coverage. Even without insurance, many patients find chiropractic far more cost-effective than ongoing medications or surgery.

Natural Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief — No Surgery, No Injections

Effective Sciatica Relief in Omaha

Sciatica is more than back pain — it is a debilitating condition that can send sharp, burning pain shooting down your leg, cause numbness in your foot, and make simple activities like walking or sitting unbearable.

At Frazier Family Chiropractic, Dr. Cindy Frazier specializes in treating sciatica by identifying and correcting the root cause: spinal misalignment or disc compression pressing on the sciatic nerve. Using Insight scanning technology, she pinpoints exactly where the nerve is being irritated and creates a targeted care plan to relieve it.

Unlike steroid injections or pain medications that simply mask symptoms, chiropractic care addresses the structural cause — giving you lasting relief, not just temporary comfort.
