Back pain and sciatica treatment in Calabasas
Back pain has a way of taking over everything, work, sleep, even getting out of a chair. It may have started with an accident or built up over time, but the goal is the same: find what is actually causing it and treat the source, not just numb the symptom.
Common causes we address
- Accident and injury-related back trauma
- Sciatica and radiating leg pain
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Muscle strain and poor spinal alignment
- Chronic lower-back tension
Our approach
We start by pinpointing where the pain is really coming from, then build an individualized treatment plan around it. Care may include spinal adjustments to improve joint mobility, decompression therapy when appropriate, and rehabilitation to support recovery.
For sciatica, decompression may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan.
When to seek emergency care
Back and sciatica care treats musculoskeletal pain. Seek immediate medical attention for numbness in the groin or inner thighs, severe or worsening leg weakness, or any loss of bladder or bowel control, which can signal a medical emergency.

Common questions
Should I see a doctor for back pain after a car accident, and how soon?
Yes, it is worth getting checked even if the pain feels mild at first. Prompt evaluation helps identify injuries early and provides timely documentation of your condition. If you have severe pain, numbness, weakness, or any loss of bladder or bowel control, treat that as an emergency and seek immediate medical attention.
Why does back pain show up days after a car accident?
It is very common for back pain to appear hours or even days after a crash rather than right away. In the moment, pain can be easy to miss, and injuries like muscle strains, joint irritation, and disc problems often take time to inflame and become noticeable. Delayed pain does not mean the injury is minor, so it is a good idea to get evaluated once symptoms appear, even if some time has passed since the accident.
What does treatment for lower back pain after a car accident involve?
It starts with finding the source of the pain rather than just masking the symptom. Depending on the examination and clinical findings, care may include chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mobility, spinal decompression when appropriate, and rehabilitation to support strength and function. We document your injuries and progress throughout.
Can a chiropractor help with sciatica?
