What we evaluate and care for
Whatever brought you to this page — sciatic pain that shoots down one leg, burning, numbness or tingling from the low back through the hip — the path is the same: a thorough first exam, an honest report of findings, and a plan you approve. From South Reno, South Virginia or the Meadowood exit off I-580.
How care works here
One established clinic since 1993. No franchise churn, no high-pressure care plans — recommendations are explained, re-evaluated on a schedule, and the decision is always yours. That’s why families from South Reno have sent three generations through our door.
How chiropractic care may help sciatica
Depending on findings, care may include specific spinal adjustments, flexion-based positioning and traction, soft-tissue work for piriformis patterns, physiotherapy modalities for pain control, and progressive home exercises (nerve glides, McKenzie-style movements when they test well). Many sciatic episodes improve substantially with conservative care over several weeks; if yours doesn't follow that arc — or neurological signs progress — we say so and coordinate referral for imaging or a surgical opinion.
⚠ When to seek medical care instead
Emergency room now: numbness in the groin/saddle area, loss of bladder or bowel control, or rapidly progressing leg weakness. Prompt medical referral: foot drop, or leg pain with fever or cancer history. We screen for all of these at the first visit.

What patients say
Reno Patients, In Their Own Words
“First time here… Friendly and efficient receptionist, she explained everything in detail. I saw Dr. Bader. Listened to my areas of pain, explained many things and my first adjustment was great. He is also friendly, has good “bedside” manners. They are a hometown health provider.”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Bader for the last 15 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manor. The office is very well run… Most insurance is accepted and if it’s not, the cash plan is very reasonable. Walk in’s are acceptable and same day appointments are most likely.”
“Dr Bader is a Super Chiropractor! Palmer educated.”
“They actually work on fixing your issues with adjustments and therapy and get you in and out of the office in a timely manner.”
