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.

​

Our approach to pain management is centered around the unique needs of each patient. Our expert team is adept at pinpointing the root causes of your pain and devising an effective, personalized treatment plan for sciatica.
