Sciatica Pain Relief โ€“ A Full Range of Treatment Options Available in Freehold, NJ

Sciatica pain relief can often be achieved without surgery. At Spine Care New Jersey in Freehold, NJ, we offer a full range of conservative treatment options for the shooting leg pains, tingling sensations, and muscle weakness that can occur when the sciatic nerve in the lower back is compressed. These symptoms are very common and often result from age-related degenerative changes in the spine. But, there is no need to resign yourself to living with pain or move forward with surgical procedure right away.

When sciatica pain flares, home remedies can sometimes provide effective relief. For instance, some people find that taking a brief rest from physical activity, applying a heating pad or ice pack to a painful area, or taking an over-the-counter pain reliever is all that is needed to get through a painful episode.

On the other hand, if you need relief from sciatica pain that is severe or debilitating, the orthopedic spine specialists at Spine Care New Jersey in Freehold can work with you to develop a conservative treatment plan designed to help you manage your discomfort. Some options include:

  • Physical therapy
  • Prescription medications
  • Corticosteroid injections
  • Ultrasound therapy

If your sciatica pain continues without relief after approximately four to six weeks of nonsurgical treatment, we may recommend a surgical procedure. If you elect to proceed, you can feel confident that you are in good hands. The board-certified, fellowship-trained spine surgeons at Spine Care New Jersey are skilled and experienced in performing many advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive outpatient procedures.
