Sciatica Relief in Portland and Gresham

Get Relief With Chiropractic Care

Radiating pain from your lower back down through your leg can make even simple movements feel impossible. The skilled team at Woodstock Chiropractic combines traditional chiropractic techniques with advanced therapies to help you regain comfort and mobility. We understand how frustrating sciatica can be, so we offer a wide range of options to provide relief.

Common Causes and Professional Diagnosis

Sciatica often emerges following motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, or everyday activities like incorrect lifting. Sometimes, even a sudden movement or action like coughing can trigger symptoms. Our doctors perform thorough examinations to distinguish true sciatica from similar conditions, using special orthopedic tests for accurate diagnosis. This detailed assessment helps us create the most effective plan for your specific situation.

Advanced Therapies for Optimal Relief

Our comprehensive treatment strategy begins with a precise diagnosis of your pain source. After the nerve root compression is identified, a decision is made on the best therapeutic options for your problem, which may include gentle manual or Activator® adjustments, spinal decompression, and targeted muscle therapy.

Many patients find quick relief through our electric muscle stimulation and soft tissue treatments, which help relax painful muscle spasms that often accompany sciatica. Our light and shockwave therapy options promote natural and comprehensive healing.

Recovery Timeline and Healing Combinations

Each patient’s healing journey is unique. While some experience improvement within a few visits, others may need several weeks of care. We enhance your recovery by combining several therapy options, including:

Maintaining Spinal Health for the Future

Our rehab room plays a key role in your recovery, offering space and equipment for supervised exercises that strengthen your core, support muscles, and help prevent future episodes while improving overall function. Our team guides you through proper exercise techniques and monitors your progress, adjusting your program as needed for optimal results.

Actual Results Using Combined Therapies

One notable success story involves a patient who came in after a car accident. After diagnostic imaging revealed a lumbar disc herniation causing sciatic discomfort, we developed a multi-therapy treatment plan.
By combining gentle adjustments with targeted muscle treatments and progressive rehabilitation exercises, the patient experienced significant relief from both low back and leg pain. A follow-up MRI showed complete resolution of the herniation without surgery. This success demonstrates how our integrated approach supports your body’s natural healing abilities.

Supporting You Through Your Entire Recovery

We may incorporate various therapeutic approaches throughout your treatment as your condition improves. From initial pain relief with electric muscle stimulation and light therapy to progressive strengthening in our rehab facility, each phase of treatment builds upon the previous ones. This stepped approach helps ensure lasting results.
