Sciatica & Radiating Leg Pain Treatment in St. Peter, MN

Evidence-based, rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care for sciatica

Rising Sun Chiropractic + Weight Loss provides conservative, rehabilitation-focused chiropractic care for people dealing with sciatica and radiating leg pain in St. Peter, MN and surrounding southern Minnesota communities.

We help patients improve movement, restore activity tolerance, and reduce recurring flare-ups using a non-surgical, function-based approach centered on movement, strength, and mechanical loading.

Our care is focused on identifying the movement and tissue factors contributing to nerve-related symptoms—not simply treating pain in isolation.

Common symptoms we see with sciatica and radiating leg pain

We commonly help patients experiencing:

  • pain that travels from the low back into the hip, buttock, or leg

  • aching, burning, or sharp leg pain

  • symptoms that worsen with sitting, standing, or walking

  • stiffness and limited movement in the low back or hips

  • leg discomfort during daily activities or work tasks

  • recurring flare-ups that restrict normal activity

What causes sciatica and radiating leg pain?

Sciatica is a symptom pattern, not a diagnosis by itself.

In most cases, radiating leg pain is influenced by a combination of:

  • irritation or sensitivity of spinal or peripheral nerves

  • joint mobility restrictions

  • disc-related changes

  • soft-tissue stiffness

  • reduced movement tolerance

  • altered movement patterns during daily activity

Our focus is identifying which of these factors are contributing to your symptoms and functional limitations.
