Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips, buttocks, and down each leg. This pain can vary from mild discomfort to sharp, burning sensations and often worsens with prolonged sitting, standing, or sudden movements.
At Richardson Pain Solutions, we recognize how debilitating sciatica can be. Our team of specialists uses advanced techniques to identify the root cause of your pain and develop personalized treatment plans to provide relief.

Common Causes:
Sciatica is often caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. Common causes include:
- Herniated Discs: A bulging or ruptured disc can press on the nerve.
- Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal can compress nerve roots.
- Piriformis Syndrome: Tightness or spasms in the piriformis muscle can irritate the sciatic nerve.
- Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on spinal discs can lead to nerve impingement.
- Injury or Trauma: Direct injury to the lower back or pelvis can affect the nerve.
When to Seek Medical Attention
While mild sciatica often improves with self-care, seek medical attention if you experience:
- Severe or worsening pain in the lower back, buttocks, or legs.
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg or foot.
- Difficulty controlling bowel or bladder function (a medical emergency).
- Pain that persists for several weeks despite at-home treatments.
