A pinched nerve is the last thing anyone can prepare for. Sciatica can strike suddenly and can be caused by a number of underlying reasons.
We use the latest in therapeutic techniques to ease your pain and get you back to feeling like yourself. Sciatica is lower back pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve. This nerve branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down along each leg. Typically, this pain affects only one side of the body. The pain caused by this condition can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or even excruciating pain.
For some, it can feel like a sudden electric shock and can worsen when you cough or sneeze. In some cases, numbness or tingling can also be experienced. This condition occurs when the sciatic nerve is pinched, usually by a herniated disk or a bone spur. More rarely, the nerve can be compressed by a tumor or damaged by disease. Certain factors can put you at greater risk for developing sciatica; these include being overweight, having a sedentary job, and suffering from diabetes.
