Sciatica
About Sciatica Services
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. This pain occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, often due to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or muscle spasms. Symptoms can include sharp or burning pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected leg. If left untreated, sciatica can lead to chronic pain and mobility issues.
At our center, we focus on relieving sciatic nerve compression and alleviating pain through a combination of non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy, spinal adjustments, and pain management techniques. Our goal is to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and prevent future flare-ups.
Conditions Treated for Sciatica:
- Sciatica due to herniated or bulging discs.
- Sciatica caused by spinal stenosis.
- Piriformis syndrome (muscle-related sciatica).
- Sciatica linked to pregnancy.
- Sciatic nerve compression due to injury or trauma.
