Sciatica pain can ruin your day. But if we treat exactly what’s wrong, real relief is possible. In Kearny Mesa, the Gonstead Technique brings that kind of precise care.
At Gonstead Family Chiropractic, we treat patients of all ages — babies, kids, adults, and seniors. We apply Gonstead with focus and care, so you recover faster. We operate with full dedication from our Kearny Mesa location.
What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve gets squeezed or irritated. Common sources include:
- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on nerve roots
- Vertebral misalignments compressing nerves
- Degenerative changes or joint stress
- Muscle tension or imbalance pulling on the spine
In Kearny Mesa, many residents sit for hours, commute daily, or live with posture stress — all of which can trigger sciatica.
Why Gonstead Works Better for Sciatica
Other chiropractic styles adjust broadly. Gonstead adjusts specifically.
We use a five-point diagnostic process to identify the exact vertebra causing nerve pressure. Then, we correct only that segment. Every adjustment is precise, low-force, and targeted.
Because we don’t over-adjust, many patients experience relief quickly — with fewer visits.
What to Expect from a Gonstead Adjustment
During your visit:
- You may sit or lie on your side
- A gentle, specific thrust is applied
- You may feel a small release, but not pain
- Nerve function is checked again after each adjustment
Unlike general techniques, Gonstead doesn’t “crack everything.” It’s precision-driven.
Who Benefits Most in Kearny Mesa
Our sciatica care is ideal for:
- Adults with new or chronic sciatica
- Seniors or those avoiding surgery
- Anyone looking for drug-free, long-term relief
However, if you’re experiencing red flag symptoms (e.g. bowel or bladder issues), see a medical specialist first.
Kearny Mesa Patient Results
A local patient visited us with shooting leg pain and trouble walking. After a few Gonstead sessions, they reported reduced pain and smoother motion. Others, dealing with chronic flare-ups, now experience minimal episodes.
This is the power of targeted, personalized chiropractic care.
