Back pain doesn’t just stay in your back.

It affects how you work, sleep, and show up in your daily life.

What may start as occasional discomfort can turn into constant, frustrating pain that holds you back from doing the things you enjoy. And if left untreated, it can often get worse over time.

You may be experiencing:

• Persistent lower back pain or stiffness •

• Sharp pain when bending, lifting, or twisting •

• Pain that radiates into the hips or down the leg •

• Difficulty standing, walking, or sitting for long periods •

• Muscle spasms or tightness in the back •

• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot •

• Pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities •

• Back pain that keeps returning despite rest or medication •

Many patients come to us after trying rest, medication, or physical therapy without lasting relief.
They’re frustrated, tired of temporary fixes, and worried surgery may be the next step.

How We Diagnose and Treat Back Pain & Sciatica


Back pain and sciatica can have many different causes, which is why getting the right diagnosis matters.

Our specialists use advanced diagnostic and image-guided techniques to identify the source of pain and create a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals.

Treatment recommendations may include:

  • Detailed medical evaluation
  • Imaging when necessary
  • Image-guided procedures using ultrasound or X-ray
  • Targeted injections and non-surgical treatments
  • Coordinated rehabilitation and recovery planning

Every patient’s pain is different, which is why our treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates from the lower back down the leg due to irritation of the sciatic nerve.

A bulging or ruptured spinal disc that places pressure on nearby nerves and can cause pain, numbness or weakness.

Age-related wear and tear on spinal discs that can contribute to chronic back pain and reduced mobility.

Persistent or recurring lower back pain caused by strain, inflammation, disc issues, or spinal degeneration.

Overuse, lifting injuries, or sudden movements that strain muscles and surrounding tissue.

If back pain or sciatica is interfering with your daily life, our team can help you understand what’s causing it and what treatment options are available.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed, often from conditions like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or inflammation in the lower back. This can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that travels from the lower back into the hip or leg.

If your back pain is persistent, keeps returning, radiates into the leg, interferes with daily life, or hasn’t improved with rest, medication, or physical therapy, it may be time to see a specialist. Early evaluation can help identify the cause of the pain and prevent it from getting worse over time.

Yes. Many cases of sciatica can improve with non-surgical treatment. Depending on the cause of the pain, treatment options may include targeted injections, rehabilitation, medication management, or other non-surgical approaches designed to reduce inflammation and improve function.

Treatment recommendations vary based on the cause of the pain and your symptoms. Non-surgical treatment options may include image-guided injections, rehabilitation, medication management, and other targeted therapies designed to reduce pain and improve movement.
