Sciatica Relief
When Pain Shoots Down Your Leg
Sciatica is hard to ignore. It can feel like a burning or electric pain from your lower back or buttock down the back of your leg, sometimes with numbness or tingling in your foot. Sitting in the car, standing in line, or rolling over in bed can set it off.
Sciatica isn’t a diagnosis on its own. It’s a sign that the sciatic nerve is irritated, often by a bulging or herniated disc, tight muscles in the buttock, or joints in the low back that aren’t moving well. Dr. Kamego’s exam focuses on finding what’s irritating the nerve so your care targets the cause.
Depending on what he finds, your plan may include gentle adjustments, spinal decompression, and home stretches. If your exam shows you need advanced imaging or a specialist, he’ll tell you.

For many people, yes. Dr. Kamego looks for what’s irritating the sciatic nerve and uses gentle adjustments and decompression when they’re a good fit. If your symptoms need imaging or a specialist, he’ll tell you.
A herniated or bulging disc is one of the most common causes of sciatica, but not the only one. Tight muscles and stiff joints in the low back and hips can irritate the nerve too. Learn about our spinal decompression for disc-related pain.
Many cases improve within a few weeks to a few months, but sciatica that keeps coming back, gets worse, or doesn’t improve should be checked.
Go to the emergency room if you have numbness in your groin or inner thighs, new trouble controlling your bladder or bowels, or weakness in one or both legs that’s getting worse quickly.
