COMMON CONDITIONS WE TREAT
SCIATICA PAIN DOCTORS
Sciatic Nerve Pain rarely requires surgical intervention. If you are experiencing back or leg pain that radiates, tingles, or leaves you immobilized, it is time to make an appointment. We have some of the best sciatica pain experts in the South Florida area.
Sciatica pain is normally experienced when bone spurs or herniated disks press on the sciatic nerve. Most of the time, sciatica pain only affects one side of your body at a time. A pinched sciatic nerve is easy to diagnose and treat. We can provide immediate relief to sciatica nerve pain.
Our team of award-winning sciatic nerve pain relief experts with backgrounds in orthopedics, neurosurgery, pain care, and rehabilitation will create a long term treatment plan individualized to you, your unique pain and your goals. We conquer sciatica pain without surgery in the majority of cases using evidence based sciatic pain relief techniques (some of which are completely new to pain care and only offered by our doctors).
Have you ever experienced tingling, numbness, or weakness in your leg or foot?
Sciatic nerve pain is most often caused by a sports injury, bone spurs in the spine, herniated discs, or degenerative spine conditions. Injuries that affect the sciatic nerve generally produce weakness, numbness, a burning sensation, or an electrical shock sensation that radiates from your back to your legs.
For some patients, non-surgical pain relief techniques might not be the best treatment plan for them. When your pain calls for surgery, our sciatic pain doctors may suggest minimally invasive and advanced surgical approaches such as the mild® treatment (minimally invasive lumbar decompression) or DRG Neurostimulation (dorsal root ganglion neurostimulation).
Patients suffering from acute sciatica pain may be prescribed pain relief from in-office epidural steroid injections, soft tissue injections, or trigger point injections. Often anti-inflammatories are prescribed in conjunction with other acute pain treatments and the condition resolves. In other patients, acute pain is a precursor to a life of chronic pain, so it is important to determine the cause of pain and administer the correct pain relief procedure for lasting relief of chronic sciatic nerve pain.
