Spine & Sciatica
Pain or numbness running down your leg, or a back that won’t settle, deserves a precise evaluation — not guesswork.
Signs it’s time to get this checked
- Pain, numbness, or tingling running down your leg
- Low back pain that worsens with sitting or standing
- Weakness in your leg or foot
- Pain that hasn’t responded to rest
What tends to cause it
Sciatica and spine-related pain usually trace back to nerve irritation from a disc, joint, or muscular source in the lower back. Identifying exactly where the irritation is coming from is the key to resolving it rather than just easing symptoms temporarily.

Good to know
Common questions
Is sciatica serious?
Most cases respond well to conservative care. We’ll flag it clearly if your symptoms need more urgent medical attention.
Do I need an MRI first?
Not usually. Most sciatica and spine pain can be evaluated and treated without imaging up front.
Will exercise make it worse?
The right exercise, chosen for your specific presentation, typically helps rather than aggravates symptoms.
