Frequently Asked Questions
Can a chiropractor cure sciatica?
Chiropractic is one of the most effective treatments for sciatica. By correcting the spinal misalignment or disc pressure irritating the sciatic nerve, adjustments address the root cause — not just the pain. Many patients experience significant relief and long-term resolution of sciatica.
What does sciatica feel like?
Sciatica typically causes sharp, burning, or shooting pain from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg — sometimes reaching the foot. Many patients also experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg.
How long does sciatica take to heal with chiropractic?
Mild sciatica often improves significantly within 4–6 weeks of consistent care. Chronic or severe cases may take longer. Dr. Greenberg evaluates the cause and severity of your sciatica and provides a realistic recovery timeline at your first visit.
Is chiropractic better than surgery for sciatica?
For most patients, chiropractic care is highly effective and far preferable to surgery, which carries real risks and requires a long recovery. Surgery may be appropriate when conservative care fails or when there is serious nerve damage — but Dr. Greenberg will give you an honest assessment at your consultation.
Does insurance cover sciatica chiropractic treatment?
Most major health insurance plans cover chiropractic care for sciatica. We also accept Workers Compensation, no-fault auto insurance, and Medicare. We verify your coverage at the outset so you know exactly what to expect financially.
