Sciatica Treatment Santa Fe
Dr. Uzi Broshi D.N.
Naprapathy Treatment for Sciatica in Santa Fe, NM
Sciatica is one of the most common and painful conditions affecting the lower back and legs. If you experience sharp, radiating pain that runs from your lower back down your hip, buttock, or leg, you may be suffering from sciatic nerve compression. At Hummingbird Integrative Health in Santa Fe, NM, Dr. Uzi Broshi offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to relieving sciatica through Naprapathy—a manual therapy that treats the underlying causes of nerve compression and musculoskeletal imbalance.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica is a condition resulting from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the human body. It typically causes pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness along the nerve pathway, affecting the lower back, buttocks, and down one or both legs.
Common Causes of Sciatica Include:
Herniated or bulging discs
Muscle tension in the lower back or hips (e.g., piriformis syndrome)
Degenerative disc disease
Spinal misalignment or joint dysfunction
Postural imbalance or repetitive strain
Sciatica can severely limit mobility, disturb sleep, and interfere with daily function. Naprapathy focuses on relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve by correcting soft tissue dysfunction and promoting structural alignment.
How Naprapathy Helps Relieve Sciatic Pain
Naprapathy is a hands-on therapy that specializes in the treatment of connective tissue disorders—including muscles, ligaments, fascia, and tendons. Unlike other therapies that focus solely on the spine, Naprapathy provides a whole-body approach to restoring movement, reducing inflammation, and relieving nerve pressure.
As a licensed Naprapath, Dr. Uzi Broshi uses techniques such as:
Myofascial release to free restricted tissues
Trigger point therapy to ease muscle tightness
Gentle mobilization of joints in the spine and pelvis
Corrective stretching and movement re-education
Customized home exercises to support healing
This integrated approach not only reduces sciatic symptoms but also addresses the mechanical issues that often cause them in the first place.

Naprapathy differs from Chiropractic in that the doctor usually does not use high velocity or intense pressure to adjust skeletal alignment. Gentle and precise attention to the fascia, muscle and other connective tissues prepares the skeletal system for gentle adjustments which it is prepped to maintain. This approach provides a gradually deepening correction that releases the originating trauma, thereby minimizing the frequency of treatment need- ed for the body to maintain harmonious skeletal alignment.
After your Naprapathic treament (typically 50-60 minutes) we may introduce you to simple exercises that you can take home, empowering you to improve postural issues and strengthen your renewed harmony.
The New Mexico Legislature has passed a resolution to study Naprapathy as one of several non-pharmeceutical approaches to pain relief.
Helping others to heal themselves brings me joy.
Mary Burmeister, who brought Jin Shin Jyutsu to the West, said, “Age is as Circulation is”. After decades of physical labor I found, in my late ‘40s, new flexibility (balance between energetic and muscular aspects of being) through yoga.
Regular exercise (yoga, cycling, running and hiking), in tandem with daily Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care, eradicated a health issue for which I’d been told I’d always need medication.

Naprapathy has taught me about the amazing design of our body’s anatomy and biomechanics and hands-on techniques that speak directly to the body’s ability to correct, rehabilitate and regenerate.
