What is it?
Sciatica is pain that follows the sciatic nerve path — from the lower back down to the foot. Usually caused by compression of a nerve root due to disc herniation or stenosis, it can be treated very effectively without surgery through image-guided nerve blocks.
Common symptoms
Interventional approach
Each case is evaluated individually. The treatment plan is defined at the first appointment.
Injection of corticosteroid and anesthetic at the compressed nerve root under fluoroscopy. Reduces inflammation directly at the source of pain.
Modulates the signal of the compressed nerve without destroying it. An option when the block gives temporary relief but the sciatica recurs.
Access to the epidural space via the caudal route to irrigate the entire lumbar area with anti-inflammatory medication.
For sciatica caused by epidural fibrosis or adhesions that are post-surgical or long-standing.
In the first consultation we evaluate your complete history and explain what options exist for your specific situation.
