Sciatica pain treatment: chiropractic offers lasting relief

Most people begin to feel improvement within the first few weeks. Their sciatica pain eases, and movement becomes easier. Exactly how many sessions you’ll need depends on the cause of your sciatica and your lifestyle. During your initial consultation, we’ll create a personalised care plan tailored to your body’s needs. From there, we can give you a clear idea of what your recovery process will look like.

No, chiropractic care for sciatica does not hurt. You may feel some temporary discomfort if your body is already sensitive, especially in certain positions, but the adjustment itself doesn’t hurt.

Yes, as chiropractors, we’re trained to assess and diagnose sciatica. For us, however, the exact medical label is less important, what matters most is finding and addressing the underlying cause of your pain. That cause is often linked to how your spine and nervous system are functioning. As spinal health specialists, chiropractors are the right professionals to help correct those imbalances so your body can heal naturally and restore proper function.

No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly at Solar Chiropractic without a referral.

During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns and create a personalised care plan. This initial visit usually lasts around 30-45 minutes. Once we know what your body needs, the follow-up visits are shorter and more focused. You’ll first have a moment to relax on the table before the chiropractor begins the adjustments. These adjustments give your body exactly what it needs to support the self-healing process. So even though each session only lasts at most about 10 minutes, the healing process continues long after you leave the practice.
