Sciatica Relief Now is Changing Sciatica Treatment Across the Country

Sciatica Relief Now expands access to its movement-based, patient-led program created by PT Dean Volk, serving clients across the U.S.

“Virtual access means anyone struggling with sciatica can learn movement strategies that may help, no matter where they live.” — Dean Volk

As millions of Americans continue to live with sciatica pain despite conventional treatments, Sciatica Relief Now has marked a milestone of over 5,000 clients served. The program, developed by Dean Volk, a physical therapist with more than three decades of experience, provides an education- and movement-based virtual pathway for individuals seeking long-term relief and healing from sciatica.

Addressing an Ongoing Health Challenge

Sciatica, a condition caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, can lead to persistent pain radiating from the lower back through the legs, and into the feet. Research indicates that up to 40% of adults may experience sciatica during their lifetime, creating a significant demand for effective care.

While many people turn to medication, injections, or even surgery, these approaches do not help the majority of sufferers. Volk founded Sciatica Relief Now to provide an alternative that emphasizes patient agency and functional improvement, rather than short-term symptom suppression.

A Virtual-First, Nationwide Model

The program is offered entirely online, giving participants the ability to access resources and guidance regardless of location. Through video modules, live virtual consultations, and educational support materials, clients are taught how to identify beneficial movement patterns and apply them in their daily lives.

“Accessibility is central to what we do,” said Volk. “Whether someone lives in a large city or a rural area, they deserve the same opportunity to learn strategies that can help reduce pain and restore activity.”

From Clinic Insights to a Structured Program

Volk developed his approach after observing recurring patterns in patients over his 34-year career. Over the past 17 years, he refined these insights into what he calls the “180°” methodology, a distinct framework that differs from conventional, insurance-driven care models.

According to the company, this approach has attracted people who have dealt with sciatica for as little as a few months to as long as several decades. The goal is not to replace medical care but to provide practical, patient-led tools that can complement existing treatment plans.

A Growing Need for Alternatives

Back and nerve pain remain among the leading causes of missed workdays and healthcare costs in the U.S. Programs like Sciatica Relief Now illustrate how specialized, non-invasive solutions can help reduce this burden while expanding choice for patients.

The milestone of more than 5,000 clients highlights the demand for virtual care models that can scale across the country. As telehealth continues to evolve, innovative approaches like Volk’s are gaining traction among those seeking options beyond conventional settings.

Looking Forward

Building on its recent growth, Sciatica Relief Now plans to introduce additional resources, including community-based workshops and expanded educational content, to help more people understand and manage their sciatica symptoms.

“Our mission is to take the knowledge I’ve developed over decades of physical therapy and make it available to anyone who needs it,” Volk said. “Virtual programs make that mission possible on a scale that was never achievable before.”
