Sciatica Leg Pain Relief

Sciatica leg pain occurs when something near the spinal canal presses on the sciatic nerve. The culprit is often a herniated or bulging disc, a bone spur, or scar tissue from an old injury. Like all nerve compression, sciatica often causes discomfort in the back, but because it affects a major nerve that runs down the back of the leg, the pain is often felt all the way from the spine, across the buttocks and down to the feet.

Fortunately, there are a number of ways to reduce sciatica leg pain, including:

Hot and cold compresses
Limiting activities that cause discomfort
Pain medications, over-the-counter or prescription
Physical therapy
Chiropractic treatments
Alternative approaches including acupuncture and massage
Epidural steroid injection
Surgery

After making a proper diagnosis, your doctor will create a treatment plan that will start with one or a combination of the first few treatments on the list. If the pain is still present, your doctor may suggest a more aggressive treatment such as steroid injections. As a last resort, surgery may be suggested. If that’s what happens in your scenario, you may want to consider a procedure at Laser Spine Institute (LSI) to reduce your sciatica leg pain. We offer minimally invasive treatments that are highly effective and free of many of the complications present with other surgeries.

If you’d like to find out about more of the benefits our sciatica treatments offer, contact LSI today. We’ll review your CT scan or MRI free of charge.
