Sciatica Treatment in Dallas
If you have shooting pain down the back of your leg, tingling in your foot, or burning along your hip and glute, you might be dealing with sciatica — or you might be dealing with something that looks like sciatica but isn’t. The right treatment depends entirely on figuring out which one you have.
Is it really sciatica?
True sciatica means the sciatic nerve itself is being irritated — usually from a disc issue, stenosis, or another spine-level problem. Piriformis syndrome is different: a tight piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve as it passes through the hip. The symptoms can look identical, but the treatment is completely different. A proper assessment tells you which one you’re dealing with before you spend months chasing the wrong fix.
Our treatment approach
If it’s a disc-related issue, we use targeted spinal work, decompression-style adjustments, and graduated loading to calm the nerve and restore proper movement. If it’s piriformis-related, we focus on the hip — soft-tissue release, glute strengthening, and movement re-education. Either way, you leave with a plan that addresses your actual problem.
What to expect from recovery
Sciatica improves on a wide range — some patients feel real relief in 1–2 weeks, others need 6–8 weeks of consistent work. The honest answer depends on what’s causing it and how long it’s been there. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after the assessment.
