What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica describes irritation of the sciatic nerve but does not identify the cause.

Common causes include:

  • Disc injuries

  • Lumbar disc bulges

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Piriformis syndrome

  • Deep gluteal syndrome

  • SI joint dysfunction

  • Hip dysfunction

  • Chronic muscle tension

This is why a proper evaluation is so important.

Our Approach to Sciatica Treatment

Dry Needling

Dry needling is one of our most effective treatments for sciatic-type pain, especially when tight muscles in the glutes, hips, or lower back are contributing to nerve irritation.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can help calm irritated tissues, reduce pain, and improve circulation throughout the affected area.

Chiropractic Care

When appropriate, gentle chiropractic treatment may be used to improve movement in the low back, pelvis, and surrounding structures.

Movement and Exercise

Our goal is not only to help you feel better but to help you stay better.

We often recommend specific mobility and strengthening exercises to improve long-term outcomes.

Why Patients Choose OC Well Studio

We take a whole-body approach to sciatica.

Rather than focusing solely on the location of pain, we evaluate how the spine, pelvis, hips, muscles, and nerves are working together.

This helps us identify contributing factors that may otherwise be overlooked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sciatica always caused by a disc problem?

No. While disc injuries are common, many patients experience sciatic symptoms due to muscle tension, hip dysfunction, or nerve irritation outside of the spine.

Does dry needling help sciatica?

Many patients experience significant relief when dry needling is used to reduce tension in the gluteal muscles, piriformis, and lower back.

How many visits will I need?

This depends on the severity and duration of symptoms. Acute cases often improve more quickly than chronic conditions.
