Understanding Sciatica Therapy

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. At our Long Island clinics, we specialize in effective treatment options designed to alleviate your pain, restore mobility, and enhance your overall quality of life.

Common Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica is typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Common causes include:

• Herniated Discs: Discs that bulge or rupture can press on the sciatic nerve.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can cause nerve
