Sciatica Treatment in Boise, Idaho That Gets Results
Does leg pain or tingling run down from your low back? That's sciatica. We can help you move freely again.
Warning Signs
When You Need Sciatica Treatment in Boise
Sciatica feels like sharp pain, burning, or numbness in one leg. It starts in your low back. It often gets worse when you sit a long time. We see this a lot in Micron and Boise State area workers. Icy sidewalks in winter can cause a slip that pinches the nerve too. Lifting wrong in the yard can set it off as well. So can carrying groceries up a steep North End staircase. Left alone, sciatica tends to get worse. The nerve stays upset and muscles tighten more each week. Early care helps stop pain from coming back.[1]

Common Causes
Herniated Disc Pressure
A bulging disc can press right on the sciatic nerve. This causes sharp, shooting pain down the leg.
Desk Job Posture
Hours of sitting tighten hip muscles and squeeze the nerve. We see this a lot with tech and office workers.
Winter Slip Injuries
Icy sidewalks and Bench-area hills cause falls that jar the lower spine. These falls often spark sciatic flare ups.
Sports and Trail Strain
Mountain biking the foothills or running the Greenbelt can strain your low back. That strain can pinch the sciatic nerve.
Pregnancy Related Pressure
Extra weight and shifting posture during pregnancy can press on the nerve. Gentle adjustments often bring real relief.
Lifting Injuries
Heavy lifting at work or at home can strain your low back. We see this a lot from farm and rural area workers.

I’ve been a patient at Dr. Henze’s for 27 years.
Even though I had to have back surgery 15 years into it, he has helped me tremendously healing afterwards and continued maintenance.

I started going to Dr Henze after experiencing extreme pain in my neck and upper back. He was able to adjust me, at first a few times a week and then gradually weaning off to more of a maintenance routine. I went from a pain scale of constantly being in a 7+ (out of 10) or above, down to a 1 or zero most days. You can tell he is very experienced. The office and staff are also wonderful. Would highly recommend!

Quick Answers
Sciatica Treatment FAQs
Here's what Boise patients usually want to know before starting care with us.
-
How much does sciatica treatment cost?
Most patients start with our $99 New Patient Special, which covers the exam, X-rays, and first treatment. After that, cost depends on your treatment plan. We'll explain costs clearly before moving forward with any care.
-
How long until sciatica treatment works?
Many Boise patients notice some relief within the first few visits. Full recovery often takes a few weeks depending on how long the nerve has been irritated. New flare ups usually heal faster than long standing cases.
-
Can I treat sciatica myself, or do I need a chiropractor?
Rest and stretching can ease mild symptoms for a short time. They rarely fix what's actually pressing on the nerve. A proper exam shows us the real cause, so guessing at home won't solve it.
-
Is sciatica care different from regular back pain care?
Sciatica involves nerve pain along with sore muscles, so it needs a more targeted plan. We often use spinal decompression to relieve pressure on the nerve. Adjustments then help calm the surrounding muscles.
-
How urgent is sciatica pain?
If you feel numbness, weakness, or shooting pain down your leg, don't wait it out. The longer a nerve stays irritated, the harder it is to calm down. Patients from the Bench to downtown Boise see better results when they start care early.
-
What are signs of sciatica versus a muscle strain?
Sciatica pain usually travels past the knee, while a muscle strain tends to stay in the low back. Tingling or weakness in your leg is a strong sign the nerve is involved, not just a sore muscle.
-
Do you use spinal decompression for sciatica?
Yes, we use our Back On Trac Spinal Decompression for many sciatica cases we see at our North End clinic. It gently reduces pressure on the disc and nerve. We often pair it with adjustments and laser therapy for faster results.
