Sciatica Treatment in Evansville, IN

Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica is a common condition that affects the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks to the feet. When this nerve becomes irritated or compressed, it can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected areas.

Call (812) 382-3523 or contact us online to schedule an appointment and learn more about sciatica treatment in Evansville, IN.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes through a tear in the outer layer. This can compress the sciatic nerve.
  • Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a spinal canal narrowing, which can put pressure on the nerve roots.
  • Piriformis syndrome: This condition occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve.

Symptoms of Sciatica

The symptoms of sciatica can vary from person to person, but may include:

  • Pain: Sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg
  • Numbness: A loss of sensation in the affected area
  • Tingling: A pins-and-needles sensation
  • Weakness: Difficulty moving the affected leg or foot
