Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve. This pain can range from a mild ache to a sharp, shooting sensation.
Causes of Sciatica
Sciatica is often caused by a pinched nerve in your lower back, typically due to:
- Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc bulges or breaks through the outer layer, pressing on the nerve.
- Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the nerve roots.
- Piriformis syndrome: This condition occurs when the piriformis muscle spasms and irritates the sciatic nerve.
Symptoms of Sciatica
Common symptoms of sciatica include:
- Pain: Sharp, shooting pain that radiates from your lower back down your leg(s)
- Numbness: A loss of sensation in your leg(s) or foot(s)
- Weakness: Difficulty moving your leg(s) or foot(s)
- Tingling: A pins-and-needles sensation in your leg(s) or foot(s)

After seeing previous pain managers and switching to Dr. Winters' practice, it has been life changing!! He has aggressively attacked my pain through extensive measures and my life will never be as it was. I would recommend Dr. Winters and his team to anyone who lives with chronic pain.
