Radiating leg pain, numbness, and sciatica make it hard to sit, sleep, or get through a workday. Novaré Injury Care and Rehab provides non-surgical sciatica treatment in Fort Myers using spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, and chiropractic care targeted at the lumbar spine, sciatic nerve, and the full length of the leg. Two Southwest Florida locations, same-day appointments available.
The best treatment targets the root cause. Most sciatica originates from nerve compression at the L4-L5 or L5-S1 disc levels, caused by a herniated disc, bulging disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis spasm. Non-surgical options including spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments, Cox flexion-distraction, Class IV laser, shockwave, and manual soft tissue work are effective for most disc-related cases. Surgery is rarely necessary as a first step.
That’s where imaging comes in. Dr. Ivan Bracic requires MRI before designing a treatment plan. He reads every scan himself and has specialized post-graduate training in MRI interpretation. No guessing. Treatment targets the actual problem level.
What we treat at Novaré:
We don’t guess at the cause of your sciatica. Every patient gets imaging before we build a treatment plan. Dr. Bracic reads every MRI himself before a single session of decompression begins.
Every new patient gets digital x-rays on the first visit to evaluate lumbar alignment, disc spacing, and structural causes of nerve compression.
When disc involvement is suspected, Dr. Bracic coordinates MRI imaging and reads every scan himself. No guessing which disc level is compressing the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, and manual therapy combined to address your specific nerve source.
As a licensed Medical Corporation, we provide EMC determinations for PIP auto insurance, coordinate neurosurgery referrals when needed, and manage complex sciatica cases under one roof.
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Something is compressing the sciatic nerve root. The cause determines the treatment, and our chiropractor’s evaluation pinpoints it.

“The Dr. discovered that a butt muscle was in spasm and strangling my sciatic nerve. He put me on his Tesla coil machines for a couple sessions and my pain went away.”
“Dr. Ivan Bracic is heaven sent. His level of professionalism and expertise is a breath of fresh air. I’ve had chronic lower back issues and he was transparent about everything, broke down what was going on step-by-step, helping me form the trust needed for relief.”
“I have suffered with scoliosis and a multitude of bulging discs in my spine for years now due to many car accidents… I have made more healing progress in the past five months than I did in the past few years thanks to them.”
