Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower spine down through the buttocks and legs. It’s not a diagnosis itself, but a symptom of an underlying condition such as a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscular entrapment (e.g., piriformis syndrome).
It can cause radiating leg pain, numbness, or weakness that limits walking, sitting, and daily function.

- Sharp, burning, or shooting pain down the leg
- Numbness, tingling, or “pins and needles” sensation
- Muscle weakness in the leg or foot
- Pain that worsens with sitting or bending
- Discomfort when coughing or sneezing
- Usually affects one side of the body

At Unify Rehab & Performance, we perform a comprehensive neurological and movement assessment to pinpoint the source of your sciatic irritation—whether from spinal, muscular, or mobility-related causes.

Our treatment includes:

- Chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment and reduce nerve pressure.
- Soft tissue therapy to release tight gluteal and piriformis muscles.
- Acupuncture for pain modulation and improved nerve healing.
- Progressive rehabilitation focused on core stability, hip mobility, and gradual loading tolerance.
- Education on sitting posture, ergonomics, and exercise modifications.

Our integrated, strength-based approach restores movement confidence while preventing recurrent sciatic pain.
