Sciatica Chiropractic Relief

 Discover non-surgical, drug-free sciatica chiropractic relief in El Paso at Synergy Chiropractic. If shooting leg pain, numbness, or burning sensations from your lower back to your foot are limiting daily life, evidence-based spinal adjustments, flexion-distraction therapy, and targeted rehabilitation can reduce nerve compression, restore mobility, and help you avoid injections or surgery. Led by Dr. Alexander I. Jimenez, D.C., our personalized approach addresses the root cause of sciatic nerve irritation for lasting results.

 Sciatica is not a diagnosis—it’s a symptom of an underlying problem irritating or compressing the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body. For many El Paso residents—from warehouse workers and long-haul truck drivers to teachers sitting most of the day—the pain can feel debilitating: sharp, electric, burning, or accompanied by numbness and weakness that radiates from the buttock down the back of the thigh and calf.

Common local triggers we see daily include prolonged sitting at Fort Bliss desks, repetitive bending in construction, or sudden trauma from car accidents on I-10.

• Lumbar disc herniation or bulge pressing on nerve roots (L4-S1)

• Piriformis syndrome (tight buttock muscle entrapping the nerve)

• Spinal stenosis narrowing the nerve exit canals

• Spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage)

• Sacroiliac joint dysfunction referring pain down the leg

• Pregnancy-related pelvic changes (common in our military families)

• Degenerative disc disease accelerated by years of wear

 Research consistently shows spinal manipulation and related therapies are safe and effective for sciatica caused by disc herniation and joint dysfunction (Santilli et al., 2006; McMorland et al., 2010).

At Synergy Chiropractic, Dr. Alexander I. Jimenez, D.C., uses a multimodal, evidence-based protocol:

• Precise Spinal Adjustments

• High-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts or gentler instrument-assisted techniques (Activator) to reduce joint fixation and take pressure off irritated nerve roots.

• Flexion-Distraction Therapy

• A specialized table gently stretches the lumbar spine, creating negative pressure that helps retract bulging discs and improves disc hydration—ideal for herniation-related sciatica.

• Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

• Computer-controlled traction cycles that enlarge disc space and promote nutrient flow, often reducing leg pain within 8–12 sessions.

• McKenzie-Based Exercises & Neuromuscular Reeducation

• Customized movements to centralize pain and strengthen core stabilizers, preventing recurrence.

• Myofascial Release & Piriformis Stretching

• Hands-on work to release trigger points and tight muscles compressing the nerve.

 Most patients notice:

• Significant leg pain reduction within 4–6 visits

• Improved ability to walk, sit, and sleep without constant discomfort

• Decreased reliance on pain medication

• Better posture and spinal stability for long-term prevention
