Sciatica & Radicular Pain - Sciatic Nerve Pain, Radiculitis (Radicular Pain, Neuritis, Pinched Nerve)

This condition often involves back pain and persistent radiating tingling, electrical, numb, or burning sensations running down the leg (leg pain), commonly known as sciatic pain or a pinched nerve. Sciatica pain may also be described as numbness, pins and needles, or a dull ache. You may also feel accompanying spasms, locking joints, and local pain in the neck or back. Symptoms can be sudden or gradual, and the condition can worsen with prolonged sitting, sneezing, coughing, bending, or other sudden movements. It becomes more alarming when there is a loss of reflexes and muscle weakness.

How Our Doctors Can Help You

80% to 90% of patients with sciatica will recover without surgical intervention. At times this condition will be co-managed with another healthcare physician. Our doctors will assist with a helpful treatment plan.

Our doctors will perform a thorough history and examination to determine the extent of your injury. Diagnostic imaging, such as x-ray, MRI, or CT scans can be ordered if necessary.

Chiropractic manipulation (adjustments) can help restore segmental motion, circulation of nutrients via blood flow, and improve healing of the spinal discs. Additional treatments offered include Leander Flexion-Distraction Table, physical modalities such as Interferential Current, Ultrasound Therapy, and specific spinal healing exercises (rehabilitation).  Our doctors can prescribe lumbar orthosis (back braces), TEN’s units, topical lotions and nutritional supplements.
