DocBlack Chiropractic — Narragansett & West Warwick

​

Sciatic pain can be sharp, burning, or electric—often starting in the lower back and traveling through the hip, leg, or foot. At DocBlack Chiropractic, we focus on why the sciatic nerve is irritated and correct the underlying spinal stress using Gonstead traditional chiropractic adjustments—not temporary fixes.

​

We proudly serve patients from Narragansett, West Warwick, and communities across Rhode Island.

​

What Is Sciatic Pain?

“Sciatica” describes symptoms caused by irritation or pressure on the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. It commonly presents as:

• pain radiating from the low back into the hip or leg

• numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot

• pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or standing up

 

Sciatic pain is not a diagnosis—it’s a signal that something in the lower spine or pelvis isn’t functioning properly.

​

Common Causes of Sciatic Nerve Irritation

Sciatic pain often develops from mechanical and neurological stress, including:

• lumbar spinal misalignments (subluxations)

• disc stress or reduced disc spacing

• joint restriction in the low back or pelvis

• muscle tension and imbalance

• poor posture or prolonged sitting

• old injuries or repetitive strain

 

Pain travels down the leg, but the source is usually in the spine.

​

How Chiropractic Helps Sciatic Pain

Restores Proper Lumbar Motion

Specific chiropractic adjustments improve movement in restricted lumbar joints, reducing mechanical pressure that can irritate the sciatic nerve.

Reduces Nerve Pressure

When spinal alignment improves, nerve irritation may decrease—supporting clearer communication between the brain and lower body.

Decreases Muscle Guarding

As joint function returns, surrounding muscles often relax, helping relieve tightness that contributes to sciatic symptoms.

Supports Natural Healing

Chiropractic care removes interference so the body can stabilize and heal itself—without drugs or invasive procedures.

​

The DocBlack Approach to Sciatica

Sciatic care at DocBlack Chiropractic is specific, measured, and intentional.

​

We do not rely on generic twisting or symptom-chasing techniques. Instead, we use:

• detailed spinal and postural analysis

• hands-on lumbar and pelvic assessment

• Gonstead-based adjustments chosen for your exact findings

 

Every adjustment has a purpose. Every visit builds toward stability.

​

Clear Care Recommendations

If care is recommended, you’ll understand:

No pressure. No confusion.

 

Is Chiropractic Right for Your Sciatic Pain?

Chiropractic care may be appropriate if you experience:

• leg pain that starts in the lower back

• numbness or tingling down one side

• pain after sitting, driving, or standing

• recurring flare-ups without lasting relief

 

Chiropractic does not treat disease or replace medical care. It focuses on spinal alignment and nervous system function, which influence how the body adapts and heals.
