Sciatica can turn everyday tasks into painful challenges. Whether you’re sitting, walking, or simply getting out of bed, the sharp, shooting pain can make life feel unbearable. At Spinal Recovery Center in Warren, Michigan, we specialize in helping people just like you find non-surgical, long-lasting relief from sciatica pain.
In this article, we’ll explain what sciatica is, break down the most common symptoms, and show you how our team can help you feel better—without surgery or heavy medication.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica isn’t actually a condition—it’s a set of symptoms caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in your body. This nerve runs from your lower back, through your hips and buttocks, and down each leg.
When the sciatic nerve is compressed—usually by a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal misalignment—you’ll feel pain that radiates down your leg, often starting in the lower back or buttocks.
Common Sciatica Symptoms
If you’re dealing with any of the following symptoms, you might be experiencing sciatica:
- Sharp or burning pain in your lower back, buttock, or leg
- Pain that worsens when you sit or stand for long periods
- Tingling or numbness that travels down one side of your body
- Weakness in the affected leg or foot
- Shooting pain when you sneeze, cough, or move suddenly
These symptoms usually affect just one side of your body and can range from mildly annoying to totally disabling.
What Causes Sciatica?
Several conditions can trigger sciatic nerve irritation, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
- Piriformis syndrome
- Injuries from car accidents or falls
Age, poor posture, sedentary lifestyle, and heavy lifting without proper form can all increase your risk.
How We Treat Sciatica at Spinal Recovery Center
Located at 2243 East 12 Mile Road, Warren, MI 48092, the Spinal Recovery Center offers non-surgical treatments that target the root cause of your pain—not just the symptoms.
Here’s how we help:
1. Chiropractic Adjustments
Our licensed chiropractors perform gentle spinal manipulations to realign your spine, reduce nerve pressure, and improve mobility. This can provide immediate relief for many patients.
2. Spinal Decompression Therapy
We use the Triton DTS decompression system, which gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. Many patients feel better after just a few sessions.
3. Physical Therapy
We design customized physical therapy programs focused on stretching and strengthening the muscles supporting your spine. This speeds up healing and prevents future flare-ups.
4. Massage Therapy
Targeted massage helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and relieve pressure around the sciatic nerve.

We guide you through lifestyle changes that can make a huge difference—from posture tips and stretching routines to proper lifting techniques and work ergonomics.
