Sciatica Treatment in Houston
Relief from radiating leg pain after an accident.
Why It Matters After an Accident
Accidents can damage spinal discs causing nerve irritation, leading to sciatica — sharp, burning, or shooting pain down one or both legs. Without treatment, symptoms can worsen and limit mobility.
Common Symptoms
- Shooting pain from the low back into the buttock or leg
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg/foot
- Pain that worsens with sitting or standing for long periods
- Possible rare loss of bowel and bladder control
Treatment Options
- Spinal decompression to relieve pressure on discs
- Adjustments to improve spinal motion
- Epidural steroid injections for inflammation
- Rehab and exercise therapy to prevent recurrence
- Surgical consult
FAQs
Q: Is sciatica permanent?
