Shreveport, Louisiana
Sharp, shooting pain from your back down your leg? Dr. Gregory Mayfield provides expert, non-surgical sciatica treatment to relieve nerve pain and restore your mobility.
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. When this nerve is compressed or irritated, it causes the characteristic shooting pain that can make everyday activities unbearable.
At Mayfield Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive approach to sciatica treatment. Instead of masking symptoms with medication, we address the root cause of your nerve compression to provide lasting relief.
Precise spinal adjustments to realign vertebrae, reduce nerve pressure, and restore proper function. This addresses the underlying structural issues causing your sciatica.
Non-surgical decompression therapy gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure that allows herniated discs to retract and relieves nerve compression.
Customized stretching and strengthening exercises to improve flexibility, support the spine, and prevent future sciatica flare-ups.
Posture training, ergonomic advice, and activity modifications to reduce strain on your lower back and sciatic nerve in daily activities.
Car accidents on I-20 and I-49 are a common cause of sciatica in Shreveport. The impact can herniate discs or cause spinal injuries that compress the sciatic nerve. We work with auto insurance and personal injury attorneys to ensure you receive proper treatment.
