Sciatic nerve pain, radiating leg pain, and lower back numbness 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. 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 we use at Novaré:
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The key is finding what's compressing the nerve and treating that directly.
We require MRI imaging before starting spinal decompression. Dr. Bracic reads every scan himself to identify exactly which disc level is causing your sciatica.
Disc herniations, piriformis syndrome, and spinal stenosis each require different approaches. We match the treatment to your specific diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Dr. Javier Sosa, our board-certified Medical Director, provides physician oversight for complex cases including EMC determinations and neurosurgery referral coordination.
Dr. Bracic has treated thousands of sciatica patients over 30 years. He's seen the full range of presentations and knows which approach works for which condition.
Sciatica has multiple causes. Identifying yours determines the right treatment.
Disc material pressing on the sciatic nerve
Disc protrusion narrowing the nerve canal
Narrowing of the spinal canal
Muscle spasm compressing the nerve
Worn discs losing height and cushion
Vertebra slipping forward
Overgrowth narrowing nerve pathways
Pelvic changes compressing the nerve
Auto accident or fall injuries
Inflamed spinal joints
Sacroiliac joint instability
Deep lumbar muscle injury

“Dr. Ivan & his staff are hands down the best chiropractic services ever!!! His care, attention, knowledge, concern & wisdom for his patients can't be beat.”
“Dr. Ivan 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.”
“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.”
$200 | 60 to 90 minutes with the doctor.
