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

Dr. Lyon is kind, courteous, and thorough. In addition to making more space between my vertebrae, he found a cause of my aching hip and is shifting that back into place. The office staff is also knowledgeable, courteous and willing to meet my needs. I am very happy to have found Dr. Lyon and the team of Finnell Chiropractic.

Emma Terrell

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.

My husband and I have been patients at Finnell Chiropractic for 3+ years under the care of Dr Lyon. Our experience has been quite amazing and extremely beneficial. At initial visit Dr Lyon performed thorough review of medical history, and took only initial necessary images for current status. Dr Lyon has helped us return to, and maintain spinal, neurological wellness. Overall we are extremely grateful for his excellent, comprehensive care tailored to our specific unique needs.
