Calm the nerve pain that runs from your lower back down your leg, eased with conservative, root-cause chiropractic care.
Sciatica is pain along the sciatic nerve, typically a sharp, burning, or radiating sensation that travels from the lower back or glute down the back of the leg. It's a symptom, not a diagnosis, and the real cause can range from a compressed nerve root to tight muscles pressing on the nerve.
At Motion Code Studio, Dr. Maksim Ishankhanov, DC, identifies what's actually irritating the nerve, then builds a conservative plan to take pressure off it and keep it off.
Pain, burning, or shooting sensations from the low back into the buttock and leg.

Care focuses on reducing nerve irritation through adjustment, mobility, and targeted corrective movement, not masking it. You'll leave each visit with a clear sense of progress and tools to manage flare-ups between sessions.
