Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition where many experience aches, burning sensations, and tingling, which can be debilitating, from a pinched sciatic nerve. For some, the pain associated with sciatica goes away on its own. However, others require treatment from a health care professional to help eliminate joint pain, nerve pain, back pain, and inflammation. Our team at Laser Spine and Pain Institute in The Woodlands is dedicated to helping you find a drug-free, non-invasive treatment method for sciatica.
What Is Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve travels down from the lower back, past the hips, and down through each leg. Sciatica is pain triggered when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched. Sciatic nerve pain can be experienced anywhere along the nerve's path but is most commonly felt in the hip and down through the leg. Many people experience sciatic nerve pain along one side of their body, which can be mild or severe. Pain can be similar to feeling an electrical shock run through the leg or deep aching pain. In addition, some patients experience foot and leg numbness or weakness. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated disc in the spine, which presses on the nerve causing the pain to radiate through the body.
How We Can Help
Dr. Shaghaghi offers non-invasive, non-surgical, drug-free options to treat sciatica. Robotic deep tissue laser therapy and disc decompression can help reduce inflammation, back pain, and joint pain. In addition, during your consultation, we can help relieve pressure between spinal discs allowing nutrients to flow into the area, helping aid in the body's natural healing process.
Additionally, since lifestyle and daily habits can affect the musculoskeletal system, Dr. Shaghaghi can suggest lifestyle changes, such as exercise, ergonomics, general health, stress management, and more. However, in some cases, lifestyle changes are not enough to help relieve sciatic nerve pain. We may recommend some alternative forms of regenerative medicine such as deep tissue robotic laser therapy and disc decompression treatment.
