- 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 was able to significantly reduce the sciatic pain I was experiencing when I first came to him. Even through a couple setbacks, he was committed to making me better and was able to relieve about 90% of my pain. We spoke often about not just relieving symptoms but identifying the movements/issues leading to the pain and how to prevent flareups in the future.
