What is Sciatica?

Suffering from shooting pain down your leg? You could have sciatica. At DBC of Texas, we offer non-surgical solutions to help you find relief and get back to doing the things you love.

Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in your body. This nerve runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Sciatica pain can be debilitating, but our team is dedicated to helping you find relief and reclaim your life.

How We Treat Sciatica

We believe in a personalized approach to sciatica care. Our Fort Worth and Hurst clinics offer a range of non-surgical treatments to address the root cause of your pain and help you achieve long-term relief. These may include:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to the spine can help realign vertebrae, reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve and alleviating pain.

  • Spinal Decompression Therapy: This non-invasive therapy uses a computerized table to gently stretch the spine, creating negative pressure that can help retract herniated discs and take pressure off the sciatic nerve.

  • Physical Therapy: Our therapists will guide you through targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your spine, improve flexibility, and promote healing.

  • Massage Therapy: Therapeutic massage can help ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain.

  • These guys are absolutely incredible!! I love both Dr. G and Dr. Sweet, but I’ve worked more with Dr. Sweet and he is incredibly kind, respectful and I feel extremely safe with him (with both of them really). I highly recommend as not only are they amazing and the outcome of my pain is unbelievable, but they are also very enjoyable to be around. I will never go to another chiropractor again!

  • I've had such a great experience at this chiropractic office! Dr. Grothe and Dr. Sweet both played a huge role in helping me with a shoulder issue, and I always felt comfortable and confident in their care.

  • As an older golfer, I can say with certainty that DBC of Texas has helped my low back pain. My therapy included the DBC machines, decompression, and chiropractic adjustment. I always left feeling better than when I arrived. I highly recommend Dr. Grothe and all the staff at DBC of Texas.
