Sciatica

At Barto Family Chiropractic, helping adults find relief from sciatica is one of the team’s specialties. Sciatica, a condition characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, often starts in the lower back and travels down one or both legs. Patients with sciatica frequently describe the pain as sharp, shooting, or burning, and it can be debilitating. Dr. Barto and her team understand how frustrating this pain can be, and they use chiropractic care to target its root cause: irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often due to spinal misalignments or disc issues.

One patient came to Dr. Barto’s clinic after years of struggling with sciatica. Simple tasks like sitting, standing, or walking became unbearable. Through chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Barto worked to realign the spine, taking pressure off the nerve and providing much-needed relief. Over the course of several visits, the patient noticed the pain easing, and for the first time in years, they could move freely without the sharp, shooting discomfort that once dominated their life.

Dr. Barto’s approach doesn’t stop at adjustments. Her team crafts personalized treatment plans that include exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine and advice on posture and ergonomics to prevent future flare-ups. Each plan is designed to not only relieve the current pain but also to keep it from returning, allowing patients to get back to doing the things they love. With the right chiropractic care and holistic support, Dr. Barto and her team help patients regain control of their lives, free from the grip of sciatica.
