Sciatica
Shoulder pain
Hip pain
Knee pain
Movement-related dysfunctions

All care is focused on rehab-based recovery and long-term function.

What makes rehab-based chiropractic care different?

Rehab-based chiropractic care goes beyond temporary pain relief. Instead of only addressing symptoms, we focus on identifying and correcting the underlying movement dysfunctions that contribute to pain. This may include joint restrictions, muscle imbalances, and poor movement patterns, along with a structured rehabilitation plan.

What treatments do you use?

Your care plan may include a combination of:

Chiropractic adjustments to improve joint mobility
Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation
Corrective rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and stability
Movement and posture training to prevent recurrence

Each plan is customized based on your condition and goals.

Do you treat sciatica specifically?

Yes. Sciatica is commonly caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve from the lower back or surrounding structures. Our approach focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving spinal and pelvic function, and restoring movement patterns through chiropractic care and rehabilitation.

How long does it take to feel better?

Recovery time varies depending on the severity and duration of your condition. Some patients feel improvement quickly, while others require a longer rehabilitation process. The goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term improvement in movement and function.

Do I need a referral to see you?

No referral is needed. You can schedule an appointment directly at either our Reno or Minden, Nevada locations.

Do you only treat pain, or also function and movement?

We focus on both. While pain relief is important, our primary goal is to improve how your body moves and functions, so you can return to daily activities, work, and recreation without recurring issues.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes. Chiropractic care is widely used for musculoskeletal conditions. At Motion Chiropractic, we use evidence-informed, patient-specific care plans that are tailored to your condition, health history, and comfort level. We can even tailor a program of rehab without chiropractic if needed.
