Treating Sciatica Pain

Your sciatic nerve is the largest in the entire body. It moves throughout the entire torso and into your legs. Sciatic pain is less of a diagnosis and more a symptom of another problem. Only a professional chiropractor, like Dr. Jay McClanahan, can diagnose what is truly causing your sciatica. The most likely culprit is a pinched or aggravated nerve. Contact Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center to schedule an appointment. We are located in Nitro, WV. 

A few common symptoms identify sciatic pain. These include:

  • Severe lower back pain
  • Problems controlling the lower extremities
  • A burning sensation running through the legs and back
  • Tingling and loss of sensation in the legs and feet


Almost all cases of sciatica are traced back to spinal stenosis, misalignment, or herniated discs. Treating your pain presents the biggest issue. Because the pain comes and goes sporadically, traditional physicians are hesitant to diagnose. This isn’t the case with your Nitro, WV, chiropractor. He understands that the only relief comes through his treatments. 

At your appointment, Dr. McClanahan performs a spinal evaluation. He’ll detect any blockages throughout the area. Treatment depends on whether your sciatica is caused by a spinal problem or a disc injury. In most cases, the recommended treatment for both is a chiropractic adjustment. This is a painless and quick procedure. Dr. McClanahan relieves the pain by carefully moving any misaligned vertebra into their correct place.
