Sciatica Relief in St. Petersburg

Are you experiencing sharp, shooting pain down your leg? Numbness, tingling, or weakness on one side of your body? If you’re in St. Petersburg, Florida and looking for real, lasting sciatica relief – without drugs or surgery – you’re in the right place.

Sciatica is more than just back pain – it’s a nerve issue that can disrupt your ability to sit, stand, walk, or even sleep. The pain often starts in the lower back or hip and radiates down the leg, making daily life feel frustrating and limited. While pain medications may offer temporary relief, they don’t fix the root cause: compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, often due to spinal misalignment or disc problems.

At Hood Chiropractic, we specialize in getting to the bottom of your symptoms. Dr. Christopher Hood uses advanced chiropractic techniques – including Chiropractic BioPhysics® (CBP) – to correct the underlying spinal issues causing sciatic nerve pressure. Our goal is to not only stop the pain but to restore proper function so you can move freely, confidently, and without fear of flare-ups.

Conveniently located in St. Petersburg and serving nearby areas like Gulfport, Kenneth City and Pinellas Park, Hood Chiropractic is here to help you take your life back from sciatica – starting with a personalized, drug-free approach that delivers real results.

At Hood Chiropractic, we don’t just focus on relieving sciatic pain – we focus on correcting what’s causing it. Dr. Chris and his team use a combination of posture analysis, digital imaging, and structural assessments to pinpoint the exact location and cause of your nerve compression.

Your customized treatment plan may include gentle spinal adjustments, lumbar traction, decompression therapy, or Chiropractic BioPhysics® to realign your spine and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve. We may also recommend targeted stretches and strengthening exercises to improve your posture and prevent future flare-ups.

And because sciatica often has lifestyle components, we’ll guide you on movement habits, ergonomics, and sleeping positions to support healing outside of our office. The goal? To help you sit, stand, and walk pain-free – and keep it that way long term.
