Sciatica Treatment
Relieve Lower Back & Leg Pain with Personalized Sciatica Care
Dr. Sheetal Sargar-Mane | Pain Management Specialist Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation, inflammation, or compression of the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body. It typically causes pain that starts in the lower back and radiates through the buttock down one leg. Depending on the severity, patients may also experience numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness. At Dr. Sheetal's Pain Care Clinic, we specialize in identifying the root cause of sciatica and providing personalized, evidence-based treatments to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve your quality of life.
