Sciatica

From slight discomfort to unbearable pain, sciatica is common, but lasting relief means treating where it actually starts.

Emergency-room doctors say sciatica is one of the most common things they see each year in Cape Coral. Yet many patients never find lasting relief, because they’ve never received treatment aimed at the real source of the problem.

How sciatica shows up

Sciatic pain ranges from slight discomfort to the most extreme, unbearable pain. Patients often describe:

  • Pain appearing in different areas of the leg and foot
  • Intermittent pain that comes and goes
  • Pain that intensifies over the years when left untreated

Where it starts, and how we treat it

The lumbar spine and pelvis are usually where a sciatic issue begins. This area is complex and requires targeted diagnosis. We work with you to locate the source and improve the positioning of the spine and discs. Recovery time varies from patient to patient , but it typically takes less time to fix an issue like this than it took to create it.

For reference, studies suggest back surgery is only about 15% effective over a five-year period, which is why we start with a conservative, non-invasive approach.

Obtainable Outcomes

Sciatica that felt permanent often isn’t. By restoring disc space and alignment, sometimes with spinal decompression and SoftWave therapy, real, lasting relief is an obtainable outcome.
