Frequently Asked Questions

What causes sciatica?

Common causes include herniated discs, bone spurs on the spine, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, and degenerative disc disease. Pregnancy and prolonged sitting can also contribute.

Can a chiropractor help with sciatica?

Yes, chiropractic care is highly effective for sciatica. By addressing spinal misalignments and disc issues that compress the sciatic nerve, chiropractors can provide significant relief without surgery.

How long does sciatica treatment take?

Many patients experience relief within 2-4 weeks. The duration depends on the underlying cause and severity. Dr. Mayfield will provide a personalized timeline after evaluation.

Do I need surgery for sciatica?

Most sciatica cases respond well to conservative chiropractic care without surgery. Surgery is typically only recommended when conservative treatments have failed and there is significant nerve damage.
