Sciatica is a painful and often misunderstood condition that can dramatically affect your day-to-day life. It typically starts in the lower back and radiates down the back of the leg—sometimes all the way to the foot. Without proper care, this pain can become debilitating over time. At Heiss Chiropractic in Lincoln, sciatica treatment in Lincoln, NE involves precise spinal adjustments to realign vertebrae, reduce nerve pressure, and restore proper spine function.
If you’re in Lincoln, NE and experiencing persistent or recurring leg/back pain, sciatica treatment should be considered early to prevent chronic nerve irritation and mobility problems.

How Our Care Plan Works
1. Find The Root Cause
We begin with a detailed consultation, examination, and X-rays when needed to understand exactly what is causing your pain or dysfunction. We will identify the underlying structural, muscular, and neurological issues affecting your health.
2. Restore Proper Movement With Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and joint motion, reduce pressure on nerves, and help your body function the way it was designed to. When your spine and nervous system work properly, your body can heal and perform better.
3. Accelerate Healing With SoftWave TRT
SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic wave technology to improve circulation, activate healing cells, reduce inflammation, and repairs tissue. This therapy is helpful for chronic pain, soft tissue injuries, joint problems, and patients who feel like they’ve “tried everything.”
4. Relieve Pressure With Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression
For patients dealing with disc problems, sciatica, numbness, tingling, or chronic neck and back pain, spinal decompression gently stretches and unloads the spine. This can help reduce pressure on discs and nerves while promoting healing and function.
5. Help You Stay Healthy Long-Term
Our goal is not just temporary relief; we want to help you stay active and healthy long-term so you can continue doing the things you love with confidence.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes compressed or irritated. This irritation sends pain signals along the entire length of the nerve. While the pain often affects only one side, both legs can be impacted in some cases.
Common symptoms of sciatica include:
- Sharp or shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs
- Burning or tingling sensations
- Numbness or muscle weakness in the leg or foot
- Discomfort when sitting, standing, or walking for long periods
These symptoms may come and go or persist over time. Without treatment, the condition can worsen—leading to further nerve damage and long-term complications.
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica is usually triggered by either:
Spinal misalignment (subluxation):
- Caused by trauma (like a car accident), poor posture, or repetitive stress
- Misaligned vertebrae in the lower back press on the sciatic nerve
Disc injury or bulge:
- A damaged or herniated disc presses against the nerve
- May develop gradually or from a sudden injury
In both cases, the pressure on the nerve leads to pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.
