Sciatica Relief in Santa Cruz
Ease the Pain. Reclaim Your Power. Move with Confidence.
Sciatica isn’t just a back issue—it’s a deep, often overwhelming nerve pain that can radiate down one or both legs. It might jolt you when you stand, shoot down your thigh when you sit too long, or show up as burning, tingling, or numbness. Whatever form it takes, it makes simple movement feel frustrating, even impossible.
What many don’t realize is that sciatica is often the body’s way of saying, “Something’s not working here.” That message deserves more than a quick fix. It needs real listening, gentle support, and space to shift.
What’s Behind Your Sciatic Pain?
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in your body. When it’s aggravated, the discomfort can range from mild and annoying to sharp and debilitating. The cause is rarely just one thing. It could come from the following:
- Bulging or herniated discs that press on the nerve
- Misalignments in the low spine or pelvis
- Sitting for long hours without proper support
- Physical strain, pregnancy, or repetitive movement
- Nervous system stress that builds over time
Left unaddressed, these stressors continue to irritate the nerve, restricting movement, energy, and even your mood. Sciatica can keep you on edge, disconnected from your body and your peace of mind.
How We Support Relief—Naturally
Santa Cruz chiropractor Dr. Bjorn Bostrom uses a unique approach called NetworkSpinal®—a gentle, non-invasive method that helps your spine and nervous system release tension patterns layer by layer. There’s no cracking or popping. Just subtle, intentional input that allows the body to recalibrate and shift into a more supported state.
In more acute cases involving disc issues, we may incorporate spinal decompression. This therapy relieves pressure on compressed nerves and supports the body’s ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery.
Your body is always seeking balance. With the right support, even something as painful as sciatica can become a catalyst for growth and transformation,”
says Dr. Bjorn.
Relief That Goes Deeper Than Pain
Pain might bring you in the door, but something bigger often emerges: better sleep, smoother movement, more patience, clarity, and energy. You stop guarding. You start engaging.
As your spine becomes more aligned and your nervous system more coherent, what once felt like limitation can start to feel like momentum. And when you’re able to move freely again—without fear—that’s when the real living returns.
