Sciatica & Back Pain Treatment

At our orthopedic practice, we understand how debilitating sciatica and back pain can be. Our board-certified specialists are dedicated to diagnosing the root cause of your pain and creating a personalized treatment plan to help you regain mobility and live pain-free. From non-surgical therapies to advanced minimally invasive procedures, we offer comprehensive care tailored to your needs.

Understanding Sciatica and Back Pain

Sciatica: A sharp, radiating pain along the sciatic nerve, often from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down one leg. It’s commonly caused by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs compressing the nerve.

Back Pain: Acute or chronic discomfort in the upper, middle, or lower back, stemming from muscle strains, arthritis, disc issues, or structural conditions like scoliosis.

No matter the cause, our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostics to pinpoint the issue and recommend the most effective treatment.

Our Approach to Treatment

We offer a full spectrum of care, prioritizing non-invasive options and reserving surgery for when it’s truly needed. Your treatment plan may include:

Non-Surgical Treatments

Physical Therapy: Customized exercises to strengthen core and back muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce nerve pressure. Techniques like ultrasound or TENS may enhance relief.

Medications: Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or nerve pain medications to manage symptoms.

Injections: Epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections to reduce inflammation and provide weeks to months of relief.

Lifestyle Guidance: Posture correction, ergonomic adjustments, and weight management to prevent recurrence.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

For persistent or severe cases, we specialize in advanced techniques like:

Endoscopic Spine Surgery (Arthroscopy): Using tiny incisions and a camera, we can remove herniated disc fragments or decompress nerves causing sciatica, with less tissue damage and faster recovery than traditional surgery.

Microdiscectomy: A minimally invasive option to relieve sciatica by removing disc material pressing on a nerve.

Facet Joint Treatments: Radiofrequency ablation or arthroscopic cleanup for arthritic joints contributing to back pain.

Surgical Solutions

If non-surgical and minimally invasive options aren’t enough, our surgeons are skilled in procedures like laminectomy or spinal fusion for complex cases (e.g., severe spinal stenosis or instability). We’ll discuss all risks and benefits to ensure you’re confident in your care.
