What Is Sciatica and How Can It Affect You?
Sciatica Pain Doesn't Have to Run Your Life
When sciatica strikes, even the simplest tasks feel daunting. From getting out of bed in the morning to sitting at your desk, that persistent pain follows you, making every movement a struggle.
Many people try rest, heat packs, or over-the-counter pain medication. These approaches may take the edge off temporarily, but they rarely address what's actually causing the nerve irritation. Without treating the root cause, the pain keeps returning.
At Pro Health Chiropractic & Physiotherapy in Calgary, our team has helped patients just like you break out of that cycle. You deserve to move freely, sleep through the night, and get back to the activities you love.
How Our Calgary Chiropractors Treat Sciatica
At Pro Health, we take a thorough, individualized approach to sciatica. Our practitioners don't just chase the symptom. They assess your spine, pelvis, and movement patterns to identify what's driving the nerve compression in the first place.
Your care plan may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve
- Active Release Technique (ART) to address soft tissue restrictions contributing to nerve irritation
- Physiotherapy and targeted exercise to strengthen the muscles supporting your lower back and prevent recurrence
Our multidisciplinary team, including chiropractors, physiotherapists, and massage therapists, works collaboratively so your care is coordinated, not fragmented. Learn more about our team and their areas of expertise.

Unlike other manipulation therapies, Chiropractic Therapy focuses on the manipulation of the spine through a series of adjustments and mobilizations. Adjustments are commonly high-velocity motions applied to abnormal vertebra with the goal to improve symmetry and functionality. Chiropractic mobilization refers to a slow manipulation and stretching of muscles and joints with the goal of increasing the range of motion within specific areas of the spine.
