Sciatica isn’t the problem — it’s the signal. When a nerve in the lower back gets irritated or compressed, pain travels. Usually down one leg. Sometimes both. At SDCC, we focus on relieving the pressure causing the nerve irritation, not just chasing symptoms — without surgery or drugs.
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated, most often by a disc issue, joint restriction, or spinal imbalance in the lower back. That irritation can create pain that radiates from the low back into the hip, leg, or foot. The nerve isn’t “angry.” It’s compressed.
Common Symptoms We See
This can happen in the:
Not everyone feels sciatica the same way. That’s why we don’t treat it the same way.
Chiropractic adjustments to restore proper motion and alignment
Supportive therapies when appropriate
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve gets irritated — often from disc pressure, joint restriction, or inflammation in the lower back. It can cause sharp pain, burning, numbness, or tingling that travels from your low back into your hip or leg. We focus on relieving pressure at the source. Through personalized care that may include spinal decompression and targeted adjustments, we work to calm the nerve and restore normal movement.

Absolutely great experience here. Everybody is incredibly kind and welcoming. They were able to schedule me for an initial consult very quickly and I finally have a diagnosis for something that's been bothering me for over a year. Prior practitioners I've seen for the issue just brushed me off and recommended physical therapy. It was extremely refreshing to be taken seriously and having an answer is such a relief. I would highly recommend this office. They have been so great to work with.
I’ve been seeing Dr. B for about 2 months now, and have only tried the shockwave therapy (for my knees) and general chiropractic adjustments. Honest to God, my knees have never felt better (in conjunction with some at home therapies and working out) and my neck pain/discomfort went from a 7 to a 1. Outstanding work. The office staff is really sweet too.
I absolutely love this Spinal Decompression and Chiropractic Center. I came in with pain almost everywhere, headaches, and 18° scoliosis. By going every week for a few weeks, I was able to completely eliminate my scoliosis and have less headaches and pains. Every worker here has a kind and appreciative attitude no matter how early I am in the morning. (I visit right when they open!) I see Dr. Baugher and I’m pleasantly surprised every visit!
Your visit begins with a quick, free conversation with Dr. B to see if what’s going on qualifies for care in our office. If it does, we move into a thorough exam — orthopedic and neurological testing, range-of-motion checks, and on-site X-rays when needed.
Once everything’s reviewed, Dr. B walks you through what he found in simple, clear language. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening, what can help, and what your personalized treatment plan would look like. Many patients who qualify for care go on to avoid surgery long-term.
Yes. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a gentle, controlled therapy. We only recommend it after an exam to make sure it’s appropriate for your specific condition.
No. Most patients describe it as a slow stretch and pressure relief. Many actually find it relaxing, especially once the nerve pressure starts calming down.
No. Spinal decompression is computerized and precise. It cycles tension and relaxation in a way basic traction or inversion tables can’t, which helps reduce disc pressure more effectively.
That’s what the free consultation is for. If your disc issue qualifies for decompression, we’ll explain why. If it doesn’t, we won’t force it or waste your time.
