You shouldn’t have to live with shooting leg pain, numbness, or the fear that surgery is your only option.

Strength in Healing. Passion in Caring.
Sciatica Doesn't Just Hurt — It Holds You Back
Shooting pain down your leg. Numbness. Stiffness that makes every morning a battle. Sciatica can steal your mobility, your sleep, and your quality of life — and most patients are left waiting weeks for imaging or told surgery is the answer.
Endless Waiting, No Answers
Weeks pass waiting for outside imaging referrals, specialist appointments, and follow-ups — while your pain keeps getting worse and your daily life comes to a standstill.
Symptom Masking, Not Root Causes
Generic prescriptions and one-size-fits-all treatments manage your symptoms without ever addressing the structural imbalances and nerve compression driving your sciatica.
Surgery Presented as the Only Path
Too many patients in LA are handed a surgical referral before nonsurgical options are fully explored — a path that carries real risks and long recovery times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before your first visit to SOBH Sports in Los Angeles
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) and how is it different from chiropractic or physical therapy?
OMT is a hands-on medical treatment performed by a licensed physician (D.O.) using joint mobilization, myofascial release, soft tissue mobilization, and trigger point therapy to treat pain at its structural root. Think of it as the best of what chiropractors and physical therapists offer — delivered by a board-certified physician who can also diagnose, order imaging, and prescribe treatment all in one visit.
Do you accept insurance for sciatica treatment?
Yes. SOBH Sports is in-network with Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Shield, Health Net, and Anthem Blue Cross PPO. Self-pay options are also available. No referral is required to schedule your appointment.
How quickly can I get a diagnosis for my sciatica?
Dr. Sobh performs in-house high-definition musculoskeletal ultrasound, which means you can receive a same-day diagnosis at your very first visit — no waiting weeks for an outside imaging referral.
