Absolutely. Sciatica is one of the most common conditions we treat at Quest Chiropractic And Acupuncture.

Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with thin, sterile needles to promote natural healing and pain relief. This triggers the release of endorphins and improves blood circulation to injured or inflamed areas. At Quest Chiropractic, Dr. Meeks combines acupuncture with chiropractic adjustments for a comprehensive approach to treating chronic pain, headaches, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues, tendons, and muscles. It is commonly used to treat plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and other soft tissue injuries. Most patients describe the sensation as a deep tapping — it can be mildly uncomfortable during treatment but is generally well-tolerated. Sessions typically last 5 to 10 minutes. Call (847) 320-0859 to find out if shockwave therapy is right for you.

Many patients notice improvement after their first few visits, though the timeline depends on the severity of your condition and how long you have been experiencing symptoms. Acute issues like a recent injury may respond within a few sessions, while chronic conditions often require a longer treatment plan. Dr. Meeks will give you an honest assessment of your expected recovery timeline during your initial consultation.
