Dealing with Sciatic Pain?

I hear this a lot at my clinic from new patients dealing with ongoing sciatic pain 😣

“I’ve been in so much pain with sciatica. After my MRI, I was told to get a cortisone injection. The first one helped a bit. The second one didn’t help at all—and now the pain is back. Is there anything else that can be done?”

It’s incredibly frustrating to go through that—but the good news is there are many ways to treat sciatic pain without relying on cortisone injections 🙌

What Is Sciatica? 🦵⚡

Sciatica is a type of pain that travels along the path of the sciatic nerve — the largest nerve in your body. This nerve runs from your lower back, through your hips and buttocks, and down each leg.

Sciatic pain happens when the nerve roots that form the sciatic nerve become pinched, irritated, or compressed.

👉 Common causes of sciatica include:

Herniated (Slipped) Disc: The most common cause — when the soft inner part of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer and presses on the nerve root.

Bone Spurs (Osteophytes): Extra bone growth on the spine can narrow the space where the nerve passes, leading to compression.

Spinal Stenosis: A narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back that puts pressure on the spinal cord and sciatic nerve roots.

Spondylolisthesis: When one vertebra slips forward over another, potentially pinching the nerve.

Piriformis Syndrome: When the piriformis muscle (deep in the buttocks) tightens or spasms, irritating the sciatic nerve.

If you’re dealing with persistent back or leg pain, it’s always a good idea to get it checked out — early care can make a big difference! 💪
