Sciatica Treatment in Hewlett, NY

That sharp, shooting, sometimes burning pain that travels from your lower back down through your leg has a name: sciatica. It's not a diagnosis on its own — it's a symptom of irritation or compression affecting the sciatic nerve, often caused by a disc issue, muscle tightness (like piriformis syndrome), or spinal misalignment. At Long Island Spine & Sport Chiropractic, we identify the actual source and treat it — without surgery or long-term medication dependence.

Signs You May Have Sciatica

• Shooting or burning pain down one leg
• Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
• Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements
• Weakness in the affected leg
• Lower back pain accompanying leg symptoms

Non-Surgical Sciatica Relief

Dr. Korman's treatment approach for sciatica typically includes:

• Spinal adjustments to relieve nerve compression
• Spinal decompression techniques
• Targeted soft-tissue work to release muscles compressing the nerve (like the piriformis)
• Corrective exercises to prevent recurrence
• Pain management strategies for immediate relief while the root cause is addressed

Many patients considering surgery or long-term pain medication find real, lasting relief through a structured, non-invasive care plan.

Don't Wait for It to Get Worse

Sciatica often worsens without proper treatment. The sooner the underlying cause is identified and addressed, the faster and more complete your recovery is likely to be.
