- Spinal Adjustments: Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to realign the spine, which can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve if it’s being compressed by misaligned vertebrae.
- Manual Therapy: This includes techniques like massage, stretching, and applying pressure to the affected area to reduce muscle tension and inflammation, which can contribute to sciatic pain.

- Exercises and Rehabilitation: Chiropractors may prescribe specific exercises and stretches to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine and improve flexibility, which can help alleviate sciatic pain and prevent future episodes.
- Lifestyle Advice: They may offer advice on lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, and using proper lifting techniques to reduce strain on the lower back and alleviate sciatic symptoms.
- Electrotherapy and Heat/Cold Therapy: Chiropractors may also use modalities such as electrical stimulation, ultrasound, or heat/cold therapy to help reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with sciatica.
