Sciatica Relief Through Chiropractic Care in Antioch, CA

Sciatica is one of the most common — and most debilitating — conditions we treat at Quesada Family Chiropractic in Antioch, CA. The sharp, shooting pain that travels from the lower back down through the buttock and into the leg can make even simple tasks like sitting or walking feel unbearable.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — becomes compressed or irritated. Common causes include a herniated lumbar disc, bone spur, spinal stenosis, or piriformis muscle syndrome. Misalignments of the lumbar vertebrae (subluxations) are a frequent contributing factor.

How Chiropractic Helps

Unlike medications that mask pain, chiropractic care targets the underlying cause of nerve compression. Through precise spinal adjustments, Dr. Quesada works to reduce the pressure on the sciatic nerve by correcting vertebral misalignments, reducing disc bulge through decompressive positioning, releasing tension in the piriformis and surrounding muscles, and restoring proper spinal mechanics.

What to Expect

Most sciatica patients begin to feel relief within their first few visits. A complete care plan typically combines chiropractic adjustments with corrective exercises and posture coaching. Dr. Quesada will review your X-rays and perform a thorough examination before recommending any treatment.
