Sciatica Treatment
Leg pain following a nerve root, most commonly from a disc or a narrowed nerve exit.
Overview
What Sciatica Actually Is
Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It can come from a disc herniation, foraminal stenosis, facet overgrowth, or occasionally the piriformis. Treatment that works depends entirely on which one it is, which is why the exam and targeted diagnostic work come before any procedure.
Also called: lumbar radiculopathy, pinched nerve
Symptoms patients describe
- Pain running from the back into the buttock, thigh, or calf
- Electric or burning quality rather than a dull ache
- Numbness or tingling into the foot
- Pain worse sitting and better walking, or the reverse
Diagnosis
How It's Confirmed Here
- 01
Hands-on exam
Each structure is loaded separately so the source is narrowed before any imaging is ordered.
- 02
Imaging review
Your existing films are reviewed independently by Dr. Hyzy — not just the outside report.
- 03
In-room ultrasound
Dynamic imaging while you move, so tissue quality and behavior are seen live.
- 04
Diagnostic guided injection
When more than one structure could be responsible, a targeted block confirms which one is.

FAQs
Sciatica — Questions Patients Ask
How fast does sciatica improve?
Some patients feel relief within days of a targeted injection. Steroid effect peaks over one to two weeks, and nerve recovery follows its own timeline.
