Sciatica & Low Back Pain Chiropractor FAQ’s
Can chiropractors help with sciatica and low back pain?
Yes. Chiropractors help with sciatica and low back pain. Dr. Mark Petro uses a special chiropractic technique called Torque Release Technique which is effective at reducing symptoms of low back pain and sciatica. Sometimes patients have pain in the low back and sciatic pain running down the leg at the same time.
Other patients experience either low back pain or sciatic pain separately. Torque Release reduces pain in the low back or pain from sciatica regardless of how they present.
What can be expected from a TRT (Torque Release Technique) chiropractic session for sciatica or low back pain?
Dr. Petro will first identify the areas where there is inflammation and dysfunction with the nerves. Next he will stimulate those nerves to activate the parasympathetic nervous system thus reducing pain, inflammation, and dysfunction. Also, he will utilize appropriate therapies to further improve range of motion, improve function, and decrease pain.
In Dr. Mark Petro’s experience, how long does it take to recover from low back pain with TRT chiropractic treatment?
The timeline of improvement varies from patient to patient. On average almost all of our patients receive pain relief after the first adjustment. The vast majority of patients receive an 82% decrease in symptoms by the end of the first month of treatment.
Could you provide a few examples of patients who have benefitted from TRT chiropractic adjustments who were NOT helped with traditional chiropractic methods?
Patients who do not like to be twisted, cracked, or popped have benefitted greatly from Torque Release Technique. The adjustments are gentle, specific, and require no twisting, cracking, or popping.
Patients who have never experienced a chiropractic adjustment but are wary of the bigger manipulations they have seen on videos . . . benefit greatly from Torque Release Technique. Some patients have been adjusted by traditional methods for years but never quite got the results they wanted until they got adjusted by Torque Release Technique.
Are there any conditions where you feel that traditional chiropractic methods are better than TRT?
No, Torque Release Technique is fully capable of addressing any condition that traditional chiropractic addresses.

Why Patients Love Our TRT Chiropractic Adjustments
Dr. Petro has been taking care of me for a few years now! I’ve had back and shoulder problems since I was a preteen and Dr. Petro is the only person in the field who has been able to control my discomfort. His staff is great, the facility is always clean and organized. Could not recommend Dr. Petro any more highly!!!

In early July of this year, my back literally went out. I could not walk, sit, stand… nothing. I was in so much pain, and I was desperate. I googled chiropractor near me, and first on the list was Dr. Petro. I called him and left him a voicemail message. He called me right away, and scheduled me for the same day. Long story short, Dr. Petro had me walking (to somewhat normal again) in 2 days. I saw him twice a week for about 5 weeks, and I am 100% back to normal and pain free. Best chiropractor! Thank you, Dr. Petro!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Modern Chiropractic! I am a dental hygienist who was having severe bouts of back pain every 3 months until finding Dr. Petro. His technique is not as invasive as chiropractors I have seen in the past, and I am actually able to tell a difference after our sessions. The team here has been nothing but lovely and the hours are very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Mark has done a great job working with my lower back issues for a couple years now. I have referred others to his services and will continue to do so. The office is in an easy to access location with free parking, front desk staff is kind and welcoming, and they work switching schedules. Definitely would recommend.

I saw Dr. Petro concerning debilitating lower back pain that was causing numbness and tingling in my legs and feet. I felt relief beginning after the first appointment! Now, after only 5 sessions, I feel no pain, can sleep through the night, and am able to do my job comfortably. Highly recommend his modern, quick, and nonintrusive method!
