What Causes Sciatica Pain?

Sciatica is medically known as sciatic neuralgia because it is associated with the nervous system. This condition can develop suddenly after lifting something heavy or slowly due to age-related changes that pinch or irritate the sciatic nerve. The goal of treatment is to address the underlying causes of chronic pain, which may include:
This condition occurs when a soft, gel-like tissue in the spinal disc pushes through a tear in its outer layer, often compressing nearby nerves. This may lead to sciatic pain, numbness, or weakness, typically affecting the lower back and radiating down the legs. A herniated disc can be a source of significant discomfort.
This condition is characterized by narrowing spaces in the spine that compress the sciatic nerve or its roots. It may lead to leg pain, tingling, or weakness, especially during standing or walking.
This disease can cause sciatica as the discs in the spine lose hydration and height, creating instability and irritation. When these degenerative changes cause inflammation or compression in the lower back, the pain might radiate down the sciatic nerve pathway.
Spondylolisthesis occurs when one vertebra slips forward over another and compresses a nerve. This slippage often produces lower back pain, numbness, or leg weakness, which is associated with sciatica.
Piriformis syndrome causes severe discomfort when the piriformis muscle in the buttocks irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve. It may lead to shooting pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg.

Preparation for Sciatica Treatment Banner

Preparation for Sciatica Treatment

The treatment process starts with an initial assessment by our skilled providers, including a physical exam, medical history review, and possibly imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. After a thorough evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan that describes the procedures that will be performed, determines their duration, and provides other crucial information.
Our team can often proceed to treatment the same day if no significant preparations are needed. We aim to provide instant pain relief and address the underlying problem immediately. Patient comfort and well-being are always our key priorities.

Our Treatments for Sciatica

Palm Beach Health Center provides a variety of sciatica treatments, including chiropractic care to realign your spinal cord, physical therapy to enhance posture and strength, and trigger point injections to alleviate pain. Here is a more detailed overview of our procedures:

A non-invasive treatment option for sciatica that aims to reduce pain by relieving pressure on the compressed spinal nerves. During the procedure, the patient lies on a specialized table that gently stretches and decompresses the spine. This treatment creates space between vertebrae, promoting proper alignment and improved circulation to the affected area.

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal issues, including sciatica. Our specialists use spinal adjustments to correct misalignments in the spine, which can relieve nerve compression and alleviate pain and inflammation.

This treatment relaxes tight muscles and improves circulation with trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage. It targets the muscles of the lower back, hips, and legs to decrease tension, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts designed to support the feet and correct imbalances in gait. Improving posture and reducing strain on the lumbar spine can help alleviate sciatic pain caused by abnormal walking patterns and misaligned standing.
Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in the affected muscles and tissues. It can reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, and encourage the regeneration of damaged cells, relieving sciatica pain.
Low-level laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses light to stimulate healing and reduce discomfort. It penetrates deep into the tissues, promoting cellular repair and decreasing inflammation in the areas affected by sciatica.

This treatment involves injecting plant-based agents into specific muscle knots (trigger points) that contribute to pain. Relaxing tight tissues and reducing inflammation can provide immediate relief.

This group of procedures includes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy. It promotes tissue healing by injecting concentrated growth factors or stem cells into damaged areas. As a result, patients regenerate their tissues, alleviate sciatic pain, reduce inflammation, and improve overall function.
