Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica refers to the symptoms that arise when your sciatic nerve becomes inflamed. The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in your body, connecting each foot to your spinal cord. It starts on each side of your lower spine and runs through your buttocks and down your legs.
Common signs of sciatica include tingling, numbness, and pain that radiates from your lower back into your buttock, hip, and leg. These sensations can be sharp, burning, or like electrical jolts, ranging from mild to severe. Usually, it affects one side of your body and is activated when you sneeze, cough, or sit for a long time.
Sciatic nerve inflammation can develop for several reasons, often due to herniated discs or bone spurs in your spine. Our team has special expertise in managing spinal stenosis, a condition where your spinal canal becomes narrow, compressing or restricting nerve roots and your spinal cord.
Your risk of developing sciatica increases if you have:
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Extended periods of sitting
- Stress on your spine from being overweight or obese
- A job involving heavy lifting, back twisting, or long stretches of driving
- Nerve damage from diseases like diabetes
Ignoring sciatica can lead to severe and debilitating nerve damage.
At Enhance Center, we take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to treating sciatica. This involves a thorough exam to determine the specific cause of your symptoms so we can either reverse your condition or recommend the most effective treatment available.
Common sciatica treatments include:
- Selective nerve root blocks
- Epidural and transforaminal injections
- Spinal cord stimulation
- Minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MILD)
- Minimally invasive posterolateral discectomy, including endoscopic discectomy and Disc-FX®
If your sciatica symptoms don’t respond to conservative therapies, we might also recommend surgery and refer you to some of the best surgeons in town.
