Sciatica & Radiculopathy Treatment in Lake in the Hills

Non-Surgical Care Using the Precise Disc Correction System™

If you’re dealing with sciatica or radiculopathy, you may be experiencing:

• Pain shooting down the leg or arm
• Burning, tingling, or numbness
• Weakness in the leg, foot, arm, or hand
• Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or certain movements
• Symptoms that come and go but never fully resolve

Sciatica and radiculopathy are not muscle problems. They are nerve compression problems, most often caused by underlying disc and joint mechanics that haven’t been properly corrected.

At Precise Chiropractic Center, we specialize in non-surgical care for nerve compression conditions using a structured, system-based approach.

What Is Sciatica / Radiculopathy?

Radiculopathy is the medical term for irritation or compression of a spinal nerve.

Sciatica is a type of radiculopathy involving the sciatic nerve, typically causing symptoms down one leg.

These symptoms occur when:

• A disc bulges or herniates
• A joint loses proper motion
• Disc height collapses or shifts
• Inflammation builds around a nerve

The pain you feel down the arm or leg is a signal, not the source of the problem.

Why Sciatica and Radiculopathy Often Don’t Go Away on Their Own

Many patients are told:

• “It will calm down eventually”
• “Stretch it out”
• “Strengthen your core”
• “Take anti-inflammatories”

While symptoms may fluctuate, the underlying nerve pressure often remains.

• Nerves stay irritated
• Pain keeps flaring up
• Numbness or weakness may persist or worsen

Ignoring nerve compression can allow it to become chronic.

Why Common Treatments Often Fall Short

People with sciatica or radiculopathy often try:

• Physical Therapy – Helpful for movement and strength, but it does not reliably reduce disc pressure or restore nerve space.
• Medications or Injections – May temporarily calm inflammation, but they don’t fix spinal mechanics or disc stress.
• Surgery – A last resort, but often avoidable — and it still doesn’t fix the underlying joint mechanics that contribute to ongoing nerve stress.
• General Chiropractic – Helpful for mild cases, but often not sufficient for persistent or severe nerve compression.

Nerve pain doesn’t persist because you haven’t tried enough treatments — it persists because the cause hasn’t been corrected.

How We Treat Sciatica & Radiculopathy Differently

We don’t chase symptoms. We identify why the nerve is irritated and address it using the Precise Disc Correction System™, built on three core pillars that work together.

The Three Pillars of Disc Correction for Nerve Pain

Pillar 1: Mechanical Correction

Abnormal joint motion and alignment can repeatedly irritate spinal nerves.

• Restoring proper joint mechanics
• Reducing abnormal spinal stress
• Improving movement patterns that affect nerve pathways

This removes a major source of ongoing nerve irritation.

Pillar 2: Nerve Decompression

Sciatica and radiculopathy require actual reduction of pressure on the nerve.

• Reduce disc pressure
• Restore space around compressed nerves
• Improve nerve mobility and tolerance

Pillar 3: Tissue Regeneration

Chronic nerve compression often leads to inflamed, irritated surrounding tissue.

• Improve circulation around the nerve
• Reduce chronic inflammation
• Support healthier nerve and soft-tissue recovery

This helps nerves calm down and function normally again.

Stabilization & Result Retention

From the beginning of care, stabilization runs in parallel with all three pillars.

• Reduce daily stress on irritated nerves
• Support corrected mechanics
• Prevent repeated flare-ups

After initial correction, many patients transition to lower-frequency stabilization care to protect their results from everyday stressors.

Who Is a Candidate for Sciatica / Radiculopathy Care?

You may be a candidate if you have:

• Radiating leg or arm pain
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness
• Confirmed disc involvement or nerve compression
• Failed physical therapy or injections
• Been told surgery is next and want alternatives

Who Is NOT a Candidate?

We may not be the right fit if:

• There is rapidly worsening neurological loss
• There is loss of bowel or bladder control (medical emergency)
• Immediate surgical intervention is required

That’s why we evaluate carefully and honestly.

Start With a Disc Evaluation

Sciatica and radiculopathy vary greatly from person to person.

We start with a doctor-led Disc Evaluation to determine:

• What is compressing or irritating the nerve
• How severe the compression is
• Whether non-surgical care is appropriate
• How the three pillars should be emphasized in your case

If we don’t believe we can help you, we’ll tell you upfront.

Book Your Disc Evaluation

If nerve pain is limiting your ability to sit, stand, walk, or function normally — and you want to explore non-surgical options first — the next step is proper evaluation.

Book Your Disc Evaluation

At Precise Chiropractic Center, we don’t guess.

We evaluate spinal mechanics, assess nerve pressure, and determine whether the Precise Disc Correction System™ is the right solution for your case.
