East Tennessee Spine & Sport is your go-to provider for
Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. It is often caused by the compression, irritation, or inflammation of the sciatic nerve, typically due to conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome. Symptoms of sciatica can include sharp or shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected leg. Treatment may involve pain management techniques, physical therapy, medication, and in severe cases, surgery. The goal is to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve function.
