Symptoms
to Look Out For:

Not sure if you have sciatic pain? Be on the lookout for the following symptoms:


  • Prickling sensation, numbness, or weakness down one leg, or a pins-and-needles sensation
  • Pain that feels better when lying down or walking
  • Pain that worsens when standing or sitting
  • Weakness or numbness when moving a leg or foot
  • Constant pain in only one side of the buttock or leg, rarely both sides
  • Pain that starts in the buttock or lower back and travels along the sciatic nerve
  • Sharp or searing pain, rather than dull discomfort
  • Severe or shooting pain in one leg, making it difficult to stand or walk
  • Pain and other symptoms in the toes, depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected

Treatments For Sciatica

At Inner Balance Institute, we offer comprehensive treatments for sciatica designed to relieve pain and promote healing. Our approach focuses on non-invasive, drug-free therapies that target the root cause of your symptoms. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, reduce nerve compression, and alleviate pain. Spinal decompression therapy works to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve by gently stretching the spine and improving disc function. We also use therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and prevent future issues. With a personalized treatment plan, we aim to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve your quality of life.

I came to Inner Balance for acute right shoulder pain from a fall. After the first treatment with the shock wave I was more than 50% better. After 3 sessions I was 85% better. I am now pain free with just minor discomfort. Dr.Tim is incredibly knowledgeable & works miracles. Annette is personable an welcoming. The entire experience is so warm & inviting. I highly recommend this holistic practice.

Came in with a ton of pain in my lower back from an injury that often flared up randomly and with Dr. Tim’s help it has got better and better each time. The shockwave therapy has been especially helpful

As a full time combat athlete recovery is an integral part of my weekly routine. Dr.Shannahan has been immensely helpful in getting my shoulder back in fighting shape especially with the use of Shockwave which is comparable in results to prolotherapy. His attentiveness to my needs and adaptability across a wide array of injuries is an invaluable part of my routine.

Dr. Tim and his staff are very caring and professional. His exams are thorough and, based on the results, he was able to pinpoint the cause of my pain and recommend the appropriate treatment plan to correct the problem. I had experienced for the past 2 years plantar fasciitis and hip pain. I had tried everything - massage/bodywork, acupuncture, adjustments from other chiros, stretching exercises, etc. - but at the most had just obtained temporary relief. Nothing would take the pain away. I feared I’d have to live with it for the rest of my life and that it would eventually impair my ability to work. After doing some research, I found the Inner Balance Institute. My insurance did not cover the cost but it was a well worth investment. The hesitation to walk the first step when I wake up in the mornings is GONE nor am I limping because of pain in my heels and hips after a long day of work on my feet or after sitting through long drives in my car. I can finally move forward in life confidently. Thank you!

My dad had a great experience! He felt very accommodated and properly taken care of. After receiving the spinal decompression treatment, he felt so much relief and comfort after being in a lot of pain for quite some time. Dr. Tim is great!

I was in a car accident, and I found Inner Balance Institute. Dr. Tim really helped me with my sciatica. He used spinal decompression, and shock wave therapy to help me, and now my pain is all gone. I would highly recommend Dr. Tim and Inner Balance to all my friends and family!

I have been receiving chiropractic treatment from Dr. Tim for about three months. It's for a very old neck injury. I just wanted say that both he and Michelle are excellent professionals. And, I have experienced a number of benefits. I' notice less pressure in my back and chest. But more than that, I notice and my fitbit confirms that my breathing, sleep, resting heart rate have all improved. Take care
