Back Pain & Sciatica

Back pain is the most common reason people walk through our door, and sciatica is its most unwelcome traveling companion. The frustrating part is rarely the pain itself; it is not knowing what the pain means. Is it a muscle? A disc? A pinched nerve? Should you stretch it, rest it, or have someone look at it? This hub gathers our guides on all of it, written to give you clarity before you make any decisions.

You will find practical help you can use tonight, like sciatica stretches you can do at home, alongside deeper explanations of why mornings hurt, how herniated and bulging discs differ, and when non-surgical decompression makes sense for a disc that will not settle down.

At SpinalWorks in Moon Valley, North Phoenix, low back care starts with finding the actual source. Dr. Steve DC uses a careful history, precise segment-by-segment examination, and weight-bearing X-ray analysis when needed, then matches the treatment to the finding: specific adjustments, decompression, corrective exercise, or a combination. Results vary from person to person, and we will tell you honestly what your case is likely to need. Start reading below, and bring your questions to your first visit.
