What Causes Sciatica and When Should You Schedule a Consultation?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often leading to lower back pain that radiates into the hips, buttocks, and legs. Many people describe the pain as sharp or burning, sometimes accompanied by numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.

Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, injuries, or pregnancy-related changes. If you’re experiencing persistent radiating pain, difficulty sitting or standing for long periods, or worsening weakness, it may be time to schedule a consultation.

Identifying the root cause is the first step toward lasting relief! Reach out to us today to schedule an appointment by calling 1-713-383-7100 or learn more on our website with the link below 👇

While recovery isn't always easy, the outcome can be life‑changing. She’s now able to walk, move, and enjoy daily activities without pain.

💡 If sciatica has been controlling your life for years, lasting relief may still be possible.

When Should You Consider Spine Surgery?

Spine surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatments are no longer providing relief or when certain serious symptoms are present. Signs that surgery may be necessary include:

• Severe or worsening nerve compression causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness
• Spinal instability or deformity such as scoliosis or spondylolisthesis
• Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, which requires immediate medical attention
• Ongoing pain despite physical therapy, medications, or injections

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a comprehensive evaluation can help determine the safest and most effective next step. Learn more on our website https://myspineassociates.com/blog/when-is-spine-surgery-necessary/

Considering Cervical Disc Replacement? Here’s What You Should Know 👇

For patients with chronic neck, shoulder, or arm pain caused by cervical disc issues, cervical disc replacement can offer lasting relief.

This minimally invasive procedure not only reduces pain but also helps preserve natural neck movement, unlike traditional fusion surgery.

Benefits include a faster recovery time, improved range of motion, and a lower risk of future spine problems like adjacent segment disease.

At Spine Associates, we carefully evaluate each patient and recommend the most appropriate treatment, whether surgical or nonsurgical, to support long-term spine health. 💪 🙌
