Sciatica Treatment in Austin
Sciatica is a catch-all term that refers to pain in the legs and in the lower back. In reality, Sciatica can be a debilitating chronic pain condition that can make your life unbearable. Since the exact cause of Sciatica is often not plainly obvious, the condition regularly goes underreported or is even misdiagnosed as something else. If you believe you have Sciatica and you are frustrated that you aren't getting the treatment you need from your regular doctor, contact Interventional Pain Associates in Austin today. Our team of professionals uses minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques to properly diagnose your condition and treat it so that you can continue to live your life pain-free.
How do I know if I have Sciatica?
The symptoms associated with Sciatica are varied. Most patients complain of numbness in their legs, feet and toes, soreness even though there hasn't been any trauma to the affected areas, tingling in the limbs and even sharp, shooting pain down through the buttocks and into the upper legs. Since these symptoms are often present with other conditions, Sciatica is frequently taken for a completely different condition. If you are sick and tired of having your Sciatica ignored, contact the office of Interventional Pain Associates in Austin as soon as possible.
What causes Sciatica?
Most people believe that their Sciatica was caused by blunt trauma, and for many, this is accurate. Car accidents, bad falls and other traumas to the back or limbs can result in chronic pain in the lower back that matches the symptoms of Sciatica. However, this sort of major trauma is not the only way a person could end up with this condition. If you are genetically predisposed to degenerative disc disease, you may be more likely to develop Sciatica than most people. Conditions like spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis can also cause Sciatica. If you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions and you suffer from chronic, debilitating pain in your legs and back, contact Interventional Pain Associates today to see what can be done.
Healing on its own
What makes treating Sciatica so frustrating for so many people is the belief that the condition can heal on its own. According to the latest statistics, less than half of all reported Sciatica cases heal on their own, which means that if your doctor is putting off treatment in hopes that this situation will fix itself, don't stand for it. You have the right to have your chronic pain condition treated and cured and you don't have to wait. Contact Interventional Pain Associates to being your path to recovery right away.
