Sciatica begins in the pelvis — and as the experts in pelvic health, we’re uniquely equipped to unlock your relief when others can’t.
You may hear “sciatica” used to describe almost any hip, buttock, or leg pain that radiates downward. In reality, true sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the human body. This nerve originates from the sacral plexus, a bundle of nerves exiting the sacrum (the foundation of the pelvis), and travels through the hip and down the back of the leg.
Because the sciatic nerve begins in the pelvis, it makes sense that pelvic health experts are uniquely positioned to address its root cause. While traditional treatments may focus only on the spine or muscles of the low back, we take a broader approach—looking at the pelvic floor, sacral alignment, nerve mobility, and surrounding soft tissues—to provide lasting relief when standard methods have failed.
Sciatica can develop from a variety of issues, and sometimes more than one factor is at play. Common contributors include:
By focusing on the pelvis as the foundation, we’re able to see causes of sciatica that are often overlooked in traditional care.
Our evaluation goes beyond a standard low back exam. Because the sciatic nerve begins in the pelvis, we perform a comprehensive pelvic and spinal assessment to uncover the true source of irritation. This may include examining:
We also collaborate with your referring physician as needed to review imaging or medical findings, ensuring a complete, integrative approach to your care.
