Sciatica Relief in Madison
Sciatica occurs when your largest nerve in the body—the sciatic nerve—becomes irritated or compressed. This can cause pain that radiates from your lower back through your buttock and down your leg, sometimes reaching your foot. Dr. Hoover, Madison chiropractor, specializes in non-surgical care that addresses the symptoms and the underlying causes of sciatic nerve pain.

Proven Alternatives to Surgery
Many patients come to us after being told surgery is their only option. We’ve successfully helped numerous individuals avoid invasive procedures through our conservative approach. One recent patient was told he needed back surgery, but after a series of targeted adjustments and decompression therapy, his pain resolved entirely—eliminating the need to go under the knife.
Get Results With Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal decompression therapy has proven to be one of our most effective methods for treating sciatica. This modality uses a special computerized table to gently stretch the spine to relieve pressure on compressed nerves. Many patients experience significant long-term relief, and combined with precise adjustments, we address both the structural issues and the resulting inflammation.
Quick Relief for Leg Pain
The duration of care varies based on your specific condition. For some, relief begins with the first treatment, while others experience noticeable improvement after just a few sessions; chronic cases may require more. Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition, its cause, your overall health, and how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms.
Preventing Future Flare-ups
The best way to prevent sciatica recurrence is to avoid sitting for extended periods. This is especially important for truck drivers, frequent travelers, and office workers. We recommend taking breaks at least every 30 minutes while sitting and hourly stops during longer trips. Using ergonomic chairs and staying active helps support spinal health.
Men should remove wallets from their back pockets while sitting, as this can trigger sciatic pain. Proper sleeping posture, on your back with a pillow under your knees or on your side with a pillow between your knees, also helps prevent flare-ups.
