Sharp, shooting pain down the leg or a constant ache in the lower back changes how a person sits, sleeps and moves. Our non-surgical treatments target what is actually compressing the nerve, so the next flare-up stops being something to dread.
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, gets compressed or irritated. The culprit is often a bulging disc or tight muscles in the lower back. The result is pain, tingling or weakness that travels from the back through the hip and down the leg.
Rather than masking it with medication, we work to relieve the pressure on the nerve and help the surrounding tissue heal.
There is no one-size-fits-all fix. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Matt Chenault, D.C. builds a plan around the therapies that fit the case, which may include:
“I've been going to Greenville Rehab for 4+ years and would recommend them to anyone. I've had back injuries for 40+ years and they've done more to alleviate it than any other doctors I've ever tried. I was ready for surgery, and 4 years later I'm doing better than I have in decades.”
“I have been battling sciatica pain since October 2023. I came to Greenville Rehab in November and they have been wonderful to work with. They helped me be able to walk again and get back to my normal self. I'm grateful I found them.”
