Does this sound familiar?
If two or more of these apply to you, a pain physician can help find the cause — and treat it without surgery.
Common causes
A disc presses on a nearby nerve, often causing pain that travels into the leg.
Irritation of the sciatic nerve causing shooting pain from the low back into the buttock and leg.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that squeezes nerves, often worse when standing or walking.
Wear in the small joints along the spine, causing stiffness and pain when leaning back or twisting.
Inflammation where the spine meets the pelvis, felt in the low back and buttock.
Discs lose height and cushioning with age, leading to ongoing low back pain.
Overworked or injured muscles that tighten into painful knots.
Your physician will pinpoint the cause at your first visit.
Treatment options
Your physician recommends the right option after an exam. Many patients pair a procedure with physical therapy for longer-lasting results.
Best for sciatica and pain from a herniated disc or stenosis. Anti-inflammatory medicine is placed around the irritated nerve root under live X-ray guidance.

No. Your physician will examine you first and order imaging only if it’s needed. We have X-ray and motion X-ray in the office. If you already have an MRI report, please bring it.
If your back pain lasts more than two weeks, spreads into your leg, or keeps you from sleeping or working, it’s time to be seen. Go to the ER for loss of bladder or bowel control or sudden leg weakness.
Many people with sciatica improve with non-surgical care such as epidural steroid injections and physical therapy. Your physician will recommend the right option after your exam.
It varies. Some patients feel relief within days that lasts for months. If an injection helps, it can be repeated or combined with therapy.
