When Sciatica Should Be Professionally Evaluated

Sciatica can feel like burning, aching, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain that travels from the low back into the hip or leg. Some cases improve with time, but persistent or worsening symptoms should not be ignored.

Reasons to Get Checked

• Pain is traveling into the leg or foot
• Numbness or tingling keeps returning
• Sitting, walking, or sleeping has become harder
• Symptoms have not improved after a reasonable period of rest

Conservative Care Goals

The goal of conservative care is to reduce irritation, restore movement, improve spinal mechanics, and help patients return to daily activity more comfortably.
