Condition Overview

About Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — running from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg — becomes inflamed or pinched. Our Dallas physicians target the exact site of nerve irritation for effective, lasting relief.

Sciatica is commonly triggered by a herniated lumbar disc, bone spur, or spinal canal narrowing that compresses the nerve root. By calming inflammation and relieving pressure through minimally invasive procedures, we help patients avoid major surgery.

Many cases ease within several weeks. See a specialist if leg pain:

  • Has not improved after a few weeks of home care
  • Keeps coming back or stops you sitting, sleeping or working
  • Comes with numbness or weakness in the leg or foot
  • Started after a car accident, fall or work injury

When to get urgent care

Go to an emergency room straight away if you have pain or numbness in both legs, numbness around the groin or buttocks, new loss of bladder or bowel control, or rapidly worsening leg weakness.
