Sciatica Treatment in Tampa, FL
Sciatica and Radiculopathy
Pain that shoots down your leg or arm can be frightening and exhausting. The first step is finding out which nerve is involved and why.
What it is
Radiculopathy means an irritated or compressed spinal nerve, which can cause symptoms along the path of that nerve. Sciatica is a common example, where pain travels from the lower back down into the leg. A similar problem in the neck can send symptoms down the arm.
Common symptoms
Pain that travels down a leg or an arm
Burning, tingling, or a pins and needles feeling
Numbness along the path of the nerve
Weakness in the affected limb
Common causes
Nerve irritation is often caused by a herniated disc, spinal narrowing, arthritis, or other conditions that put pressure on a nerve.
How DR2SPINE approaches it
Care begins with a full evaluation and imaging review when appropriate to identify the affected nerve. Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez then discusses a personalized plan, which may include image-guided injections placed with precision, regenerative options, and the M7-MLS laser, designed to reduce nerve irritation and ease pain.
