- Everyone knows at least one person who has needlessly suffered from sciatica!
- This is a very specific type of pain that is likely caused from a disc that is herniated/bulging and is encroaching upon the sciatic nerve. When the sciatic nerve is pinched, it often causes pain and numbness that starts in the buttock region extending through the leg, usually ending in the foot. This is called a radiculopathy because this pain radiates along the route the sciatic nerve travels through the leg.
- Typically, a sciatica like pain only affects one side which is related to a herniated/bulging disc on that same side. There is evidence to support that upwards of 40% of the middle-aged population suffer from sciatica. Often, sciatica has a highly favorable response to conservative methods of treatment such as Upper Cervical Spinal Care and Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression.
Testimonials
Dr Lea and all the staff at Crossroads Brain and Spine are great, hospitable, and pleasant to work with, they treat you with respect and honor and genuinely concerned with your well being.
I wanted to try to avoid traditional medical practices because of the risks involved with bad side effects(meds and medical procedures), I went to Dr Lea for help with my neck and the treatment he did for me, did help. I’m about 40-45% better than what I was, my pain levels were 9 to 10 on a scale of 1-10, and now my pain levels for my neck are not higher than seven, and my new normal seems to be between 4 to 6 with an average of 5, whenever I go for a treatment, it’s usually 1-3 the following day and sometimes the day after that(3rd day), but I’m older, and have done alot of hard work in my life(abused/overworked my body) so I can’t expect alot,
but Crossroads comes highly recommended…
