Sciatica Relief in Pittsburgh / West Mifflin

Sciatica is more than just “butt pain.” If you’re dealing with sharp shooting pain down the leg, numbness, tingling, or burning—your body is telling you something deeper is going on.
At New Edge Spine & Sport, we focus on treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.

What Sciatica Really Is (And Why It Keeps Coming Back)

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated—usually because of movement dysfunctions in the lower back, hips, pelvis, or glutes.
Common causes include:

• Hip mobility restrictions

• Glute weakness or tightness

• Lower back joint irritation

• Disc irritation

• Piriformis or deep glute muscle compression

• Poor lifting or bending mechanics

If the underlying mechanics aren’t corrected, the pain keeps returning… even if medication, stretching, or quick adjustments help temporarily.

Common Signs Your Sciatica Is Getting Worse

Watch for these red flags:

• Pain shooting down the leg during standing or walking

• Numbness or tingling in the foot or calf

• Pain after sitting too long

• Weakness in the leg or difficulty lifting the foot

• Relief only when lying down

If symptoms are spreading or becoming more frequent, the nerve irritation is increasing — and early intervention is key.

How We Treat Sciatica at New Edge Spine & Sport

We don’t use the “adjust-and-go” model. We combine chiropractic care with rehab, mobility work, and targeted strengthening so the nerve is relieved long-term — not temporarily.

Your treatment may include:

• Chiropractic adjustments for the lower back & pelvis

• Deep tissue / myofascial release (glutes, hip rotators, low back)

• Nerve mobility techniques

• Hip and core stability exercises

• Movement retraining to stop symptoms from coming back

• Personalized homework to reinforce your progress

This combination reduces inflammation, restores normal motion, and takes pressure off the sciatic nerve.

What to Expect During Your First Visit

Your initial appointment is a 1-hour, hands-on session that includes:

• A full movement & posture assessment

• Strength testing

• Flexibility & mobility evaluation

• A detailed explanation of what’s actually causing your symptoms

• Your first treatment the same day

You’ll leave with a clear plan, not guesswork.

Who Sciatica Treatment Helps

We work with:

• Active adults

• Desk workers

• Parents lifting kids

• Lifters and “weekend warrior” athletes

• People with recurring flare-ups

• Anyone frustrated with temporary fixes

If you want lasting relief—not just symptoms masked—you’re in the right place.

When You Should Get Help

You should book an appointment if you’re experiencing:

• Pain that radiates below the knee

• Numbness or tingling in the leg

• Symptoms lasting more than a week

• Flare-ups that keep returning

• Difficulty bending, sleeping, or sitting

The earlier we address nerve irritation, the faster you recover.
