SCIATICA
PAIN
Sciatica pain, often referred to as radicular pain, is characterized by sharp, radiating discomfort that can extend from the lower back down into the leg.
​
Common characteristics of sciatic pain include:
-
Typically affecting only one leg.
-
Pain that starts in the low back or buttock and radiates down the back of the thigh.
-
Generally experienced as a sharp, piercing pain rather than a throbbing or dull ache.
-
Descriptions often include terms like 'burning,' 'searing,' and 'sharp pain.'
-
Sciatica pain tends to worsen when standing or sitting still for prolonged periods.
​
At Vitruvian Health, we provide specialized treatments for sciatica pain, including:
-
Transforaminal Injections: These injections are administered at the side of the spine where the nerve root exits, also known as transforaminal epidural blocks.
-
Fluoroscopic-Guided Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injections: These injections help to reduce radicular pain and enhance standing, walking, and overall activity levels in patients suffering from sciatica.
