Conditions
Sciatica & Nerve Pain in Dallas & Plano
Pain, numbness, or tingling that travels down the leg — and needs its source found before anyone touches it.
What It Usually Feels Like
"Sciatica" describes a symptom, not a diagnosis. Pain running down the back of the leg can come from a disc, from the nerve getting compressed as it passes through the hip, or from something else entirely referring down that path.
The treatment for each of those is different, which is why the exam matters more here than anywhere else.
- —Pain, burning, numbness, or tingling below the knee
- —Worse with sitting, coughing, or bending forward
- —Sometimes weakness in the foot or calf
- —Comes and goes with position rather than staying constant
Common Drivers
- Disc irritation in the low back
- Nerve tension or compression through the hip and glute
- Long sitting days plus heavy lifting
- A low back that never fully recovered from an earlier episode
The Approach
How We Treat It
A full neurological and orthopedic exam to find the source and screen for anything that needs a referral
Chiropractic care and nerve-mobility work matched to what the exam found
Soft-tissue work and dry needling for the muscles guarding around it
Positions and exercises that calm symptoms down between visits
Nerve symptoms often change quickly once the source is right. If something in the exam suggests you need imaging or another specialist, you'll be told that directly.

FAQ
Common Questions
Is chiropractic care safe?
+
For the vast majority of people, yes. Safety starts with the exam: screening your history and symptoms first is how we rule out anything that needs a different kind of care. Techniques are chosen to match you, and there are gentler options if you'd rather not be adjusted at all.
Myth: chiropractic adjustments cause strokes.
+
False. Decades of research have looked for a causal link between neck adjustments and stroke, and none has shown that adjustments cause them. What the research keeps finding is protopathic bias: patients were often already having early stroke symptoms — neck pain and headache — and went looking for relief. The real risk isn't the adjustment, it's missing what is already going on, which is exactly why every visit here starts with a full history and screening exam.
Do I need a referral or an MRI first?
+
No referral is needed. Bring any imaging you already have, but most cases don't require it — a thorough exam usually tells us more about how you move than a scan taken while lying still.
