Sciatica Relief
in Chippewa Falls
Sharp, shooting discomfort from your back into your leg can stop you in your tracks. Getting out of a chair, driving, or sleeping can feel like a chore when sciatica flares. Chippewa Falls Chiropractor Dr. Jason Denn often calls sciatica “an evil animal” because several different structures can be involved at once.
Sciatica and Why It’s So Complex
Sciatica happens when the large sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. That irritation may originate from the lower back, sacrum, or hip joints, or from tight muscles and ligaments surrounding them. Misalignment, muscle weakness, degeneration, or scar tissue can all add to the problem and influence how quickly you recover.
Because there are so many pieces involved, sciatica may feel confusing and unpredictable. Dr. Denn focuses on finding which structures are bothering the nerve so your body has the best chance to settle and heal.
How Chiropractic Care Helps Sciatica
Chiropractic care for sciatica aims to reduce stress on the nerve and ease tension in nearby tissues. Our adjustment delivers a precise movement to a joint, helping improve alignment and motion so nerves can function more comfortably. Dr. Denn combines adjustments with stabilizing stretches and Active Release Techniques®, a hands-on soft-tissue method that helps release tight muscles and scar tissue. Together, these methods may help with:
- Discomfort in the lower back, hip, or buttock
- Sharp or burning sensations down the leg
- Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
- Weakness or heaviness in the leg
- Tightness that makes walking, standing, or sitting difficult
What to Expect From Your Care
In practice since 1997, Dr. Denn has seen a wide range of sciatica presentations. Many people notice changes within the first few visits, while others need a few weeks. If this is a recurring episode or if there is more degeneration and scar tissue, it may take some time to reach the level of comfort you want.
