Sciatica Chiropractor

Sciatica or sciatic pain may originate in the lower back, travel through the buttock or down the large sciatic nerve in the back of each leg. Sciatica is a symptom of an underlying medical condition and is not considered a medical diagnosis. Lower back pain may cause sciatica symptoms, including herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal stenosis. Are you suffering from sciatica? Your San Diego chiropractor can help!

Symptoms to Look Out For

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

A prickling sensation, or numbness or weakness, down a leg, or in some cases a pins-and-needles sensation
Pain that feels better when you lie down or walk
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, but rarely in both sides
Pain that originates in the buttock or lower back and continues along the path of the sciatic nerve
Pain typically described as sharp or searing, rather than dull
Severe or shooting pain in one leg, making it difficult to stand up or walk
Pain and other symptoms in the toes, depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected

What’s To Love About Your Top Chiro in San Diego

Dr. Tim and the Inner Balance Institute saved my life! I CANNOT say enough good about this place. When I was in need, Dr. Tim was there, and he is caring and passionate about what he does. I injured myself from a fall and was walking crooked and,after refusing back surgery options, I began another healing route. Dr. Tim, in one visit, helped alleviate some of the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. Through more visits, I was slowly but surely able to walk straight again and get out of a crooked mess. Thank you, Dr. Tim and staff, for the hospitality, the dedication, the caring tones in your voices. You all were really there for me when I was experiencing horrible pain. Because of your continued care and a healthy lifestyle, I can walk upright and even run for a while. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is the place to go! Dr. Tim knows his stuff! I had been dealing with back pain from my military service with the Marines. It was something I was accepting as my future until I visited this place. I feel so much better and I am not even finished just yet. I definitely have an increased quality of life!

Dr. Shannahan is the BEST chiropractor. I got into a major car accident and was severely injured, including my back and neck. Dr. Shannahan was the reason why I was able to recover from my injuries. He truly cares about his patients and takes the time to individualize a treatment plan. His hands-on approach to health care, including patient examination, diagnosis, and treatment, put me on a path to recovery. If it wasn't for him, I don't know how I would have been able to recover. His service was EXCELLENT, and I highly recommend him to anyone.
