Sciatica treatment in Reynosa

When pain runs through the lower back and down the leg, it is often called sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve. More than a disease in itself, it is a symptom that points to a problem in the lumbar area.

How it presents:

• Pain that radiates from the lower back down the leg
• Tingling, numbness, or a feeling of weakness
• Discomfort that may increase when sitting or moving

When to seek care? If the pain is intense, persistent, or accompanied by weakness, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedic surgeon, the neurosurgeon, and the physical therapist take part in the evaluation and management depending on the cause. Letting a professional identify the source is the best way to guide care.
