Techniques Our Chiropractor Uses for Effective Sciatica Relief

We use a variety of proven techniques to treat sciatica effectively. Diversified spinal adjustments help realign the spine and relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, while the Activator Method provides gentle, instrument-assisted adjustments suitable for sensitive or inflamed areas. The Drop Piece Technique supports the lower back and pelvis, reducing nerve irritation without twisting or forceful movement.

To support soft tissue healing, myofascial release and targeted muscle therapy help relax tight muscles, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation around the sciatic nerve. Alongside hands-on care, we provide custom exercise programs designed to strengthen the lower back, improve mobility, and prevent recurring sciatic pain.

For general health advice on posture, exercise, and safe movement habits, residents can also explore lifestyle resources provided by the Victorian State Government for public health and wellness.
