Sciatica Treatment in Troy, MI
Sciatica can turn a short walk or a trip up the stairs into something you have to plan around. At Semlow Chiropractic Troy, we offer an evaluation to help identify what may be contributing to your leg pain and which care options may fit.
Sciatica Symptoms
and Possible Causes
Sciatica can feel like a sharp, burning, or electric pain that travels from the lower back or buttocks into one leg. You may also notice:
- Tingling or “pins and needles” in the leg or foot
- Numbness along part of the leg
- Weakness in the affected leg
- Pain that becomes more noticeable when sitting
These symptoms can have different causes. A herniated disc may irritate a nerve in the lower back, but other spinal conditions can also contribute.
Symptoms alone cannot identify the source; an evaluation helps determine what may be involved.
Finding the Right Sciatica
Treatment for You
Sciatica can have different causes, so your care begins with understanding your symptoms and examination findings. Dr. Yanez will discuss which options may be appropriate for you and review your response as care progresses.
DRX-9000
Spinal Treatment
When a disc concern may be contributing to sciatic pain, DRX-9000 decompression may be considered for some patients. This treatment uses controlled traction while you rest on a specialized table. During your evaluation, our team will explain whether it fits your findings and what to expect.
Targeted Chiropractic Adjustments
If restricted movement in your lower back is contributing to your discomfort, Dr. Yanez may recommend an adjustment. He considers how your leg symptoms respond to movement and adapts the approach to your examination findings and comfort.
Exercises and Everyday Movement
Sciatic pain can change how you sit, walk, or move through your day. Your plan may include exercises and practical movement guidance tailored to the activities that bring on your symptoms. Recommendations can be adjusted as your progress is reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Herniated Disc Treatment in Troy
Do I need an MRI before my appointment?
An MRI is not automatically required before an initial evaluation. Whether imaging is needed depends on your symptoms, history, and examination findings. If you already have an MRI or a radiologist’s report, please bring it with you.
Can I get an evaluation if another provider diagnosed my disc condition?
Absolutely. Many of our patients come to us seeking a second opinion or a non-surgical alternative after receiving a diagnosis elsewhere. Let us know about any previous testing, injections, or physical therapy when scheduling so we can review your complete file.
How many appointments might I need?
There is no standard number of visits for every disc condition. Recommendations depend on your symptoms, findings, goals, and response to care. Your plan can be adjusted as your progress is reviewed.
Does insurance cover herniated disc treatment?
Coverage depends on your plan and the specific services recommended. Semlow Chiropractic accepts most major insurance plans and can review your benefits, but that does not mean every service, including decompression, is covered. Contact us about payment options before starting care.
