Sciatica Pain

Sciatica Pain Relief in Calgary with SoftWave Therapy and Chiropractic Care Combination at Natural Way Chiropractic

If you’ve ever felt a sharp, burning, or radiating pain that shoots from your lower back down into your leg, you may be experiencing sciatica—a condition that affects millions and can significantly limit mobility and quality of life. At Natural Way Chiropractic, Dr. Kale Matovich and his team offer a powerful, non-invasive solution: the combination of SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology and chiropractic care for effective and lasting relief from sciatic nerve pain.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve in the human body. It originates in the lower lumbar spine, travels through the buttocks, and branches down each leg to the feet.

When this nerve becomes inflamed or compressed—often due to spinal misalignment, disc herniation, or muscular entrapment—it can cause sharp, shooting, or burning pain, along with tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg or foot.

Common Causes of Sciatica

Several musculoskeletal and spinal conditions can trigger sciatic nerve pain, including:

  • Lumbar disc herniations or bulges

  • Degenerative disc disease

  • Spinal stenosis

  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

  • Piriformis syndrome

  • Spinal misalignments or subluxations

  • Inflammation or muscular compression near the nerve root

Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica symptoms typically affect one side of the lower body and may include:

  • Sharp, burning pain in the lower back, buttock, or leg

  • Numbness or tingling down the leg

  • Muscle weakness or difficulty walking

  • Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting or standing

  • Discomfort that improves when lying down or changing positions

Anatomy of the Sciatic Nerve

The sciatic nerve is formed by nerve roots exiting the L4 to S3 vertebrae of the lumbar and sacral spine. These roots merge into one thick nerve that travels through the pelvis and down each leg. Any disruption—whether mechanical, inflammatory, or degenerative—can lead to intense discomfort and functional limitation.

The SoftWave Therapy Advantage for Sciatica

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves delivered through a broad focused energy shockwave to target and heal injured or inflamed tissues surrounding the sciatic nerve.

This advanced therapy initiates a powerful biological response at the cellular level, including:

  • Reduction of inflammation by modulating toll-like receptors

  • Stimulation of neovascularization and VEGF for improved blood flow

  • Activation of eNOS to promote nitric oxide release and vascular repair

  • Stem cell recruitment and migration to regenerate damaged nerve and connective tissues

  • Release of PCNA to promote tissue and cellular regeneration

SoftWave helps alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve, promote healing of the affected structures, and provide long-lasting relief—without surgery, injections, or medication.

Chiropractic Adjustments and Sciatic Nerve Relief

At Natural Way Chiropractic, Dr. Kale Matovich utilizes precise chiropractic adjustments to correct spinal misalignments, reduce pressure on nerve roots, and restore proper biomechanics to the spine and pelvis.

When combined with SoftWave Therapy, chiropractic care helps to:

  • Restore spinal alignment and nerve function

  • Improve range of motion and posture

  • Enhance nervous system communication

  • Relieve muscle tension contributing to nerve compression

This integrative approach gets to the root cause of sciatica, rather than masking symptoms with painkillers or relying on repeated steroid injections.

A Better Alternative to Steroid Injections

While spinal steroid injections are sometimes offered to reduce inflammation around nerve roots, their relief is often temporary—and repeated use can weaken connective tissues and compromise long-term spinal health.

SoftWave Therapy offers a superior, drug-free alternative by actually supporting the regeneration of damaged tissues, improving circulation, and activating the body’s own healing mechanisms. Patients report faster, longer-lasting relief with fewer side effects and no invasive procedures.

Regain Your Mobility and Quality of Life

Whether your sciatica is a new issue or a long-standing condition that hasn’t responded to other treatments, there is hope. The combination of SoftWave Therapy and chiropractic care at Natural Way Chiropractic is helping patients in Calgary walk, move, and live without the constant burden of sciatic nerve pain.
