Chiropractic Care for Sciatica: A Holistic Healing Solution

August 5, 2025

Sciatica can feel like a lightning bolt down your leg: sharp, burning, and relentless. For many, it’s more than a temporary nuisance; it disrupts sleep, work, and daily life. At Finnell Chiropractic in Folsom, CA, we understand the frustration that comes with sciatic nerve pain and we’re here to offer a holistic, patient-centered solution that goes beyond just masking symptoms.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body. It commonly causes pain that radiates from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and one or both legs. This condition is often linked to spinal misalignments, disc issues, or muscle tension - all areas where chiropractic care can make a big difference.

A Root-Cause Approach

Dr. Steven Finnell doesn’t believe in quick fixes. With decades of experience and a deep understanding of the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, his goal is to find and address the root causes of your discomfort. Through thorough evaluations and personalized care plans, he helps patients move from short-term relief to long-term wellness.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic adjustments are a gentle, effective way to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve. By realigning the spine and improving posture, we can restore nerve function and help your body heal naturally. Our care may also include:

  • Therapeutic exercises to strengthen supportive muscles
  • Soft tissue therapies to reduce inflammation
  • Posture coaching to prevent future flare-ups
  • Massage therapy from our skilled therapist, Audra Adams, to complement your chiropractic care with targeted muscle relief and lymphatic drainage

Why Choose a Holistic Solution?

Unlike medications that only dull the pain, chiropractic care works with your body’s natural healing ability. At Finnell Chiropractic, we focus on the whole person, not just the symptoms. Whether you’re managing sciatica for the first time or have been battling it for years, we’ll walk with you every step of the way toward lasting relief.

Empowering You to Heal

We believe in education as much as we believe in healing. You’ll leave each visit not only feeling better but also understanding how your body works and what you can do to support it between appointments.

What Our Patients Say

I’ve been to several chiropractors over the years, and for the most part have ignored my neck, and back health simply because I couldn’t find the right chiropractor! Dr. Finnell is fabulous! And his staff is top shelf!! Great people with awesome attitudes, that will go out of their way to help you! If you’re not currently going to a chiropractor, I would recommend Finnell chiropractic. And if you’re currently going to another chiropractor, maybe now’s a great time to switch!

Awesome experience here! The receptionist up front are always very kind to me. Appointments are always on time which is big for me as I’m a very busy person. And most importantly the pain I’ve dealt with the last 10 years is disappearing. Highly recommended.

Rob D.

Dr. Finnell is absolutely amazing! I had back pain for 6 years previous to meeting him and I was told by many doctors there was nothing wrong. Dr. Finnell took x-rays and thoroughly looked at them to figure out the issue and I cannot stress enough how much going to him has helped me! He is a great listener and makes me feel important when I am there. His staff is also amazing! Shoutout to Mary for always making me feel welcomed when I arrive.
