Patient-Centered Care for Sciatica Pain
Sciatica pain begins in the lower back and buttocks, and runs down the leg and into the foot. The condition occurs when a bone spur or herniated disc presses on your sciatic nerve. Our team of spine experts works together to treat your sciatica pain.
We look at your medical history and use imaging tools like MRI scans to find the root cause of your back pain. Our spine doctors team up with physical and occupational therapists and pain management specialists to design a treatment plan that’s right for you.
If your pain does not improve, our experienced spine surgeons offer leading-edge minimally invasive surgical options.
