The sciatic nerve is the longest in your body; it begins at your spinal cord and runs through your hips and buttocks before branching down to each leg. Sciatica is a condition caused by a pinched nerve. It commonly occurs when a herniated disk or bone spur on the spine compresses or exerts pressure on the nerve. Pain caused by this radiates from the lower back to the legs, usually from behind the thighs. It can be a mild ache to sharp, severe pain and can also cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the leg.

Treatments for sciatica depend on the underlying cause and the severity of the pain. Medications, physical therapy, steroid injections, and surgery are some of the treatment options.

We have successfully treated sciatica for our patients with simple treatments allowing them to regain mobility and function. They are back on track to enjoying their lives.
