Targeted, Non-Invasive Sciatica Pain Treatment in Santa Monica & West L.A.
If you’re experiencing pain that radiates from your lower back into your hip, buttock, or down the leg, you may be suffering from sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. Left untreated, it can make even the most basic daily tasks unbearably painful. At Dr. Roy Nissim Chiropractic & Sports Medicine Center, we specialize in identifying the root cause of sciatic nerve dysfunction and applying precise, evidence-based therapies that help you recover faster and move better.
Effectively Treating Sciatica Pain at Its Source
Sciatica is more than just nerve pain. It’s often a symptom of deeper postural imbalances or soft tissue dysfunctions. Whether it stems from a disc herniation, spinal misalignment, or muscular entrapment, Dr. Roy takes a biomechanical approach to identify the root cause and restore proper function.
Here are common contributors to sciatica that Dr. Roy Nissim addresses:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Piriformis syndrome
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Postural imbalances
- Facet joint irritation
- Nerve entrapment due to tight musculature
