Back pain and sciatica can turn sitting, driving, lifting, or training into a daily grind. At One80 Chiropractic and Functional Rehab in SW Omaha (near Millard), Dr. Brett Classen looks past “just crack it” care. We find what is limiting your movement, then use chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Techniques (ART), dry needling, and targeted rehab so you can get back to work, sport, and life with less pain and more confidence.
What Causes Back Pain and Sciatica?
Back pain often comes from joint restriction, muscle tightness, disc irritation, poor movement patterns, or a mix of all four. Sciatica usually means irritation of the sciatic nerve — pain, tingling, or numbness that travels from the low back into the buttock and leg. Desk work, lifting, sports, and old injuries are common triggers. The goal is not only to quiet the flare-up, but to fix the movement problem that keeps bringing it back.
Symptoms We Commonly See
- Low back stiffness or sharp pain with bending or sitting
- Pain that shoots into the buttock, thigh, or calf
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg
- Pain that worsens with prolonged sitting, driving, or lifting
- Recurring “tweaks” that never fully clear
If you have progressive weakness, bowel/bladder changes, or unexplained fever, seek urgent medical care. Otherwise, a movement-based evaluation is a strong next step.
How One80 Treats Back Pain and Sciatica
Care is personalized after a consult and movement assessment. Depending on your findings, treatment may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments to restore joint motion
- Active Release Techniques (ART) for tight or adhered soft tissue
- Dry needling for stubborn trigger points and muscle tension
- Soft tissue / IASTM when scar tissue or fascial restriction is involved
- Functional rehab so the change sticks when you return to work or sport
We treat the region as a system — spine, hips, and soft tissue — not just a quick crack.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We start with your history, goals, and a hands-on / movement exam. You will leave with a clear explanation of what we found and a plan that fits your schedule. Many patients notice easier movement within the first few visits; lasting change usually needs a short course of care plus home strategies.
Who This Care Is For
Athletes, desk workers, parents, and active adults in the Omaha / Millard area who want more than temporary relief. Whether your pain started after a workout, a long drive, or “for no reason,” we tailor care to how you actually move.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an MRI before I come in?
Not always. Many back and sciatica cases improve with a skilled exam and conservative care first. If imaging is needed, we will tell you.
Will I get adjusted every visit?
Only if it fits your exam findings. Soft tissue work and rehab are often just as important.
How soon can I return to the gym or running?
As soon as your exam and response to care allow. We usually modify activity rather than shut you down completely.
