Do I need imaging before my visit for sciatica?

No. Bring any imaging or reports you already have, but a thorough examination and in-office ultrasound are often all that is needed to begin treatment.

The vast majority of patients we see do not require surgery. Our focus is on accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment. If surgical evaluation is appropriate, we will tell you directly and coordinate a referral.

Sciatica describes pain along the path of the sciatic nerve, most often from a disc bulge, spinal narrowing or piriformis muscle irritation. Identifying which of these is responsible determines the treatment.

Our approach

A careful neurological examination and, when needed, imaging review help us localize the problem. Treatments may include targeted nerve blocks, ultrasound-guided piriformis injections and regenerative options, combined with movement strategies to decompress the nerve.
