Compression-point assessment
We identify whether your sciatica originates in the spine, the piriformis, or both — and treat accordingly.
Sciatic pain has a specific anatomy. It originates where the sciatic nerve gets compressed — often in the lumbar spine or piriformis — and refers down the buttock and leg. Generic stretching can make it worse if you target the wrong site.
Our protocol was built by physicians who treat sciatica daily. It opens space at the compression point first, then progressively loads the nerve so it tolerates movement again.
We identify whether your sciatica originates in the spine, the piriformis, or both — and treat accordingly.
Week 1 opens space. Week 2 builds tolerance. Week 3+ loads the nerve under control.
Sciatica patients especially benefit from assisted stretching — you can't get the same depth or angle alone.
A focused 8-minute home routine that won't aggravate the nerve. Most patients do it morning and night.
Low-level laser on the compression site can dramatically reduce inflammation between visits.
If something flares or doesn't improve in two weeks, our physicians review and adjust your plan.
We confirm sciatica and rule out anything that needs imaging or a referral first.
Light, opening stretches. We don't push range yet — we settle the nerve down.
Sessions 2–6 add controlled load. Most patients feel a clear shift by the end of week 2.
Once the acute pain is gone, we move you to a monthly maintenance cadence.
