Sciatica Relief: How Chiropractic and FSM Therapy Work Together

Sciatica can strike like lightning—shooting pain down your leg, making sitting or walking unbearable, and disrupting your Toronto lifestyle day after day. If you’ve tried ice, painkillers, or stretches with little relief, you’re not alone. Many sciatica sufferers feel stuck with symptoms until they discover a new approach that targets both the cause and the pain itself. At One80 Health, we help people just like you find lasting relief with an integrated combination of chiropractic care and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy.

Understanding Sciatica: More Than Just Leg Pain

Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. It can result from:

- Herniated or bulging discs

- Spinal misalignments (subluxations)

- Tight muscles (such as piriformis syndrome)

- Injury, repetitive stress, or even prolonged sitting

Common symptoms include:

- Sharp, burning, or shooting pain from the low back into the leg

- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg or foot

- Difficulty walking, sitting, or doing the activities you love

Why Sciatica Often Sticks Around

Traditional approaches like rest, icing, or medications may temporarily mask pain, but the real relief comes from correcting the underlying problem and helping the nerve and tissues fully recover. Without addressing nerve irritation or restoring optimal movement, sciatica can become a recurring or even chronic condition.

Chiropractic Care: Restoring Alignment and Relieving Pressure

Chiropractic adjustments are a cornerstone of effective sciatica relief at One80 Health. Our experienced chiropractors perform gentle, targeted manipulations to:

- Restore normal alignment in the spine and pelvis

- Relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and related structures

- Improve posture and functional movement patterns

- Reduce tension and spasms in supporting muscles

As mobility returns and nerve pressure is alleviated, many patients notice a reduction in pain and an improvement in daily comfort.

FSM Therapy: Accelerating Healing at the Cellular Level

Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy works seamlessly alongside chiropractic care to promote faster, deeper healing. FSM delivers low-level electrical currents that:

- Calm overactive pain signals in the nervous system

- Boost cellular repair in injured discs, nerves, and muscles

- Reduce inflammation that’s prolonging symptoms

- Support tissue healing and long-term resilience

This therapy is painless, non-invasive, and easily integrated with other hands-on care.

The One-Two Punch: Why This Combination Works

While chiropractic care addresses mechanical issues and nerve pressure, FSM speeds up cellular repair to break the pain cycle. At One80 Health, your care plan might include both therapies in the same session, amplifying your recovery.

Our holistic approach also includes:

- Soft tissue therapy or myofascial release for tense muscles

- Education on posture, movement patterns, and workplace ergonomics

- Targeted exercises and stretches for stability and prevention

- Progress tracking and ongoing support as symptoms improve
