Find Freedom From Sciatic Pain Without Surgery
Living with sciatic pain can make everyday activities feel impossible. At West & Co., we offer a better way to heal, without surgery or medications. Our non-surgical approach helps Amarillo residents find lasting relief from persistent sciatic nerve problems.
What Is Sciatica and Why Does It Hurt So Much?
Sciatica happens when too much pressure is put on your sciatic nerve by surrounding tissues. This pressure interrupts the nerve’s normal function, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness.
The sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body—often gets pinched in the lower back. When this happens, you might feel pain that:
- Shoots down from your lower back into your leg
- Feels like an electrical shock
- Gets worse when you move certain ways
- Comes with numbness or tingling sensations
- Affects specific spots more intensely than others
Most people with sciatica feel pain on just one side of their body. How much it hurts depends on where the nerve is being squeezed. For some people, sciatica causes mild discomfort. For others, the pain can be so bad it’s hard to walk or even stand.
Where Your Sciatic Nerve Lives
Your sciatic nerve controls movement and feeling in your leg, from your thigh down to your toes. When it gets compressed, pain can spread anywhere along this pathway.
The sciatic nerves are the longest in your body. They start in your lower back, run through your hips and buttocks, and travel all the way down each leg to your feet. When doctors talk about sciatica, they’re talking about pain anywhere along this nerve path.
Many people think their leg pain means something is wrong with their leg. But with sciatica, the problem usually starts in your spine where the nerve roots exit between your vertebrae.
Why Your Sciatic Nerve Gets Irritated
Several things can put pressure on your sciatic nerve:
- Bulging or herniated discs pushing against the nerve
- Narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis)
- Degenerative disc disease causing spine changes
- Piriformis syndrome (when a muscle presses on the nerve)
- Injuries from accidents or falls
Contrary to popular belief, sciatica doesn’t just happen to people who sit all day. Active people can get it too, especially if their job or hobbies involve twisting their back or lifting heavy things.
Warning Signs That Need Quick Attention
After an injury or as pain develops, pay attention if you have:
- Pain in your lower back that travels down your leg
- Trouble controlling your bladder or bowels
- Numbness or tingling that doesn’t go away
- Growing weakness in your leg or foot
The last three symptoms need medical attention right away. They could mean more serious nerve damage that needs immediate treatment.
How West & Co. Treats Sciatica Without Surgery
Spinal decompression therapy is an advanced treatment that gently stretches your spine. This creates space between your vertebrae, taking pressure off pinched nerves and bulging discs. The negative pressure created during treatment helps pull disc material back into place and promotes healing.
At West & Co., our non-surgical spinal decompression therapy works by:
- Creating space between the bones in your spine
- Taking pressure off pinched nerves
- Helping bulging discs move back into proper position
- Promoting natural healing without medications
What to Expect During Your Treatment
During your treatment, you’ll lie comfortably on our specialized table. Our advanced computer system controls gentle stretching cycles that target your specific problem areas. Most patients report the treatment feels good and provides immediate relief.
Each session takes about 30-45 minutes. While some patients feel better after just a few visits, a complete treatment plan typically includes 15-20 sessions over 4-6 weeks for lasting results.
