What Is the Best Way to Treat Sciatica?

The best treatment for sciatica depends on what is causing the irritation of the sciatic nerve.

There is no single treatment that works for everyone.

For some patients, the problem may be a:

• Herniated Disc
• Bulging Disc
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Spinal Stenosis
• Piriformis Syndrome
• Joint Dysfunction
• Pregnancy-Related Changes
• Muscle Imbalances

That's why proper diagnosis matters.

At North Atlanta Spine, our doctors perform a comprehensive examination to determine the source of your pain and develop the most effective treatment plan.
