- 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
I’m finishing my 5th week at Crossroads and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lea, his staff and my treatment. He and his staff are as genuine and friendly that I have ever experienced in the medical field. Not only is Dr. Lea helping me with my pain, but he is teaching me about my pain. He explains everything that we do and is patient with any question I have. Having suffered chronic neck pain for almost a decade, this was my last hope. I was in excruciating pain and I’d tried it all except for surgery- injections, medications, physical therapy, etc. Luck (or fate) from a Google search and I found my way to Crossroads Brain and Spine. My pain is not completely gone, but my pain has decreased about 50% in these 5 weeks and my migraines have been reduced as well. I’m not one to leave reviews, but this Dr and his team are just incredible and have made a difference in my life in these 5 short weeks.
