Sciatica Treatment in Livingston, NJ

Sciatica is nerve pain — and calming the nerve is exactly what good sciatica treatment does.

Livingston Chiropractic & Rehab provides non-surgical sciatica treatment for patients throughout Livingston and Essex County, New Jersey. For over 25 years, Dr. Ralph Santonastaso has relieved the irritation of the sciatic nerve that causes pain, tingling and weakness from the lower back down through the hip and leg. Effective sciatica treatment targets the source of that nerve pressure rather than just numbing the symptom.

Common Causes of Sciatica Treatment in Livingston

Understanding what's behind your pain is the first step toward real, lasting relief. At Livingston Chiropractic & Rehab, Dr. Santonastaso commonly sees sciatica treatment caused by:

• A herniated or bulging lumbar disc
• Spinal misalignment pressing on the sciatic nerve
• Piriformis muscle tightness
• Spinal stenosis (narrowing)
• Prolonged sitting and poor posture
• Pregnancy-related pressure on the nerve

How Livingston Chiropractic & Rehab Delivers Sciatica Treatment

Sciatica treatment at Livingston Chiropractic & Rehab begins by locating the source of the nerve irritation — often a disc or misaligned joint. Dr. Santonastaso then uses spinal adjustments, physiotherapy and specific stretches to take pressure off the sciatic nerve and restore comfortable, pain-free movement.

Chiropractic Techniques We Use

Every plan at Livingston Chiropractic & Rehab draws on a full toolkit of proven, non-surgical methods, matched to your condition:
