The Fairfax sciatica specialists
Most Fairfax sciatica patients avoid surgery with our care.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the longest nerve in the body — becomes compressed, usually by a herniated disc, bone spur, or piriformis muscle spasm. Our Fairfax chiropractors precisely identify the compression location and type, then use targeted adjustments, decompression, and soft tissue work to relieve it.
- Precise diagnosis using orthopedic and neurological testing
- Spinal decompression for disc-caused sciatica
- Acupuncture to reduce sciatic nerve inflammation

Causes of sciatica
What causes sciatica in Fairfax patients?
The most common cause of sciatica in Fairfax patients is lumbar disc herniation — when the inner material of a spinal disc bulges and presses on the L4, L5, or S1 nerve root that forms part of the sciatic nerve. This is frequently caused by prolonged sitting in commuter traffic on I-66, desk work in Tysons or Merrifield office parks, or acute lifting injuries.
Piriformis syndrome is another common Fairfax sciatica presentation — particularly in runners, cyclists, and desk workers. The piriformis muscle in the buttock can spasm and compress the sciatic nerve as it passes through or near the muscle.
Less commonly, spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) causes bilateral sciatica that is worse with standing and walking. Our Fairfax chiropractors use specific orthopedic tests, postural assessment, and x-ray analysis to differentiate between these causes and provide the correct treatment.
