Our physicians at Texas Pain Institute are specialists at sciatica pain relief.
With years of treating different pains, feel free to visit us for any type of nerve pain you are going through. There are several nerve pains that happen in the body, the causes of these pains are unknown to the individual experiencing them. As people, we go through a series of daily actions and some of these actions result in unwanted pain. Many times we are unaware of the root cause until an experienced pain doctor can diagnose it and provide treatment. Sciatica nerve pain is one of such pains.
Sciatica is pain that comes from the sciatic nerve, which is a large nerve which branches out from the lower back and travels through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. Because the sciatic nerve covers such a long distance in the body, there are many different aches and pains that can be related to it and they’re all called sciatica. There can also be several different causes of sciatic pain which opens the door for a variety of treatment options. This means you are likely to have a successful outcome when you visit one of our Texas Pain Institute clinics for sciatica treatment.
Sciatica, sometimes called radiculopathy, can present as a stabbing pain in the hip for one person and something totally different, like a tingling in one leg for another person. The symptoms not only vary from person to person, but the same individual can experience different pain symptoms, too.
Some common feelings that our patients with sciatica have reported include:
Sciatica can come and go, leaving you unsure of when it will strike again. Our pain-relief specialists use regenerative medicine and interventional pain management to treat the underlying cause so you’re not constantly waiting for the next attack.
Most of the time, sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is pinched. There are several different ways that this “pinching” can occur, some are common, and others are less prevalent.
There are several risk factors associated with sciatic nerve pain, some of them you can do something about and decrease your odds of having sciatica, others you can’t control.
Whether you’ve never had sciatica or you’ve had a bout of it, preventing it is a good course of action. It can be extremely painful, and most people would choose to avoid that pain. There are some tips you can use to help prevent sciatica.
Because sciatica is so tricky and can show up as one pain symptom for one person and a different pain symptom for another, careful diagnosis must be made. This is done in our office on your first visit. It’s important to us that your symptoms are taken seriously and you have a diagnosis as soon as possible so we can start your treatment plan. A diagnosis will be created using a combination of the following at your visit.

The good news is that there are numerous treatment options available to people who are suffering from sciatica. Your individual cause of nerve pain will need to be explored before a treatment plan can be prescribed but there are some very useful treatment options, both conservative and surgical.
Treatment for sciatica pain will typically begin with conservative care and in most of the cases, this will resolve your issues. Your treatment plan will be customized to your symptoms, but it may include the following.
Both of these injections have the same goal, to deliver a steroid to the affected area to control pain and swelling in patients with sciatica and radiating low-back pain.
