What Is Causing Your Sciatica?
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It tells us a nerve is being irritated — but not always why. The most common causes we see at Cherrett Chiropractic include:
-
Disc bulges or herniations — where disc material pushes out and presses directly on the sciatic nerve root
-
Degenerative disc disease — where disc height loss narrows the space available for the nerve
-
Joint dysfunction — where restricted movement in the lumbar spine or pelvis creates nerve irritation
-
Poor spinal alignment — where structural changes place chronic load on the nerve pathway
Identifying which of these is driving your sciatica determines which treatment is most appropriate. That's why the assessment comes first — every time.
Spinal Decompression for Sciatica in Clyde North
For many sciatica sufferers, the underlying cause is a disc pressing on the sciatic nerve — and this is where spinal decompression produces outcomes that standard chiropractic care alone cannot always achieve.
Spinal decompression works by gently creating space between the vertebrae, reducing pressure on the affected disc and allowing the sciatic nerve room to recover. Studies show approximately 30% reduction in herniated disc volume on MRI following a structured decompression program — which directly correlates with reduced sciatic nerve compression and pain.
Where appropriate, Dr Cherrett combines chiropractic care with spinal decompression as part of a single integrated program — addressing both the joint function and the disc simultaneously for faster and more lasting outcomes.
