Sciatica Treatment & Relief
What Causes Sciatica?
Sciatica typically results from compression or inflammation of the sciatic nerve, usually originating in the lower lumbar spine. Several factors and underlying conditions may trigger or worsen sciatic pain. Dr. Brokstein understands how painful sciatica can be. His goal is to get your sciatica pain reduced as quickly and safely as possible.
Some common causes of sciatica include:
- Herniated or bulging discs pressing on the sciatic nerve
- Spinal stenosis or narrowing of the nerve passageways
- Piriformis muscle syndrome, causing nerve entrapment
- Chronic poor posture or spinal misalignment
- Traumatic injuries, falls, or sports accidents
- Degenerative disc disease and age-related spine changes
