Sciatica
Expert sciatica treatment at Versano Clinics to relieve nerve pain and help you return to pain-free living.
Overview
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve pathway, which extends from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Most people experience sciatica on one side of the body, with symptoms ranging from a dull ache to sharp, burning sensations, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in the affected leg. At Versano Clinics, we specialize in diagnosing the underlying cause of your sciatica and providing effective treatment to resolve your symptoms.
Symptoms
Sharp, shooting pain down one leg from the lower back | Burning or tingling sensation (pins and needles) in the leg | Weakness in the affected leg or foot |
Numbness in the leg, foot, or toes | Pain that worsens when sitting, standing up, or coughing | Lower back pain accompanying the leg pain |
Causes
Herniated Disc – When the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, it can compress the sciatic nerve roots.
Spinal Misalignment – Vertebral misalignments in the lower back can irritate or compress sciatic nerve pathways.
Piriformis Syndrome – The piriformis muscle in the buttock can compress the sciatic nerve, causing similar pain patterns.
Spinal Stenosis – Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, particularly during movement.
Degenerative Changes – Age-related wear and tear on spinal structures can lead to bone spurs or disc problems that affect the nerve.
Spondylolisthesis – When one vertebra slips over another, it can pinch the sciatic nerve roots.
SI Joint Dysfunction – Problems with the sacroiliac joint can irritate nearby nerves and create sciatica-like symptoms.
Understanding what's causing your sciatica is the first step toward effective treatment. Our team at Versano Clinics has extensive experience in accurately diagnosing and treating all forms of sciatic nerve compression.

Maintain Good Posture – Proper sitting and standing posture reduces unnecessary stress on your lower back and nerve pathways.
