Sciatic Nerve Dysfunction treatment in Benito Juárez

Sciatic nerve dysfunction occurs when this nerve, the longest in the body and which runs from the lower back down to the leg, is affected in its function, altering sensation or strength in the limb.

Common symptoms:

• Pain that radiates from the buttock down the leg.
• Tingling, burning, or numbness along the path of the nerve.
• Weakness or a feeling that the leg does not respond well.

Common causes: Compression from spine problems, injuries, or prolonged pressure on the area can alter its function.

Which specialist evaluates it? The neurologist studies how the nerves work and can guide the assessment of this type of discomfort. If the pain or tingling in the leg persists or limits your mobility, it is worthwhile to place yourself in the hands of a professional.
