Sciatic Nerve Neuropathy treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

Before explaining what it is, it is worth knowing when to seek care: pain that runs from the lower back down the leg, tingling, or weakness in the lower limb are signs that deserve a checkup.

Sciatic nerve neuropathy is the involvement of this nerve, the longest in the body, which extends from the lumbar region to the leg and foot, altering its function.

Common causes: compression from a herniated disc, injuries, sustained postures, or sustained pressure on the nerve.

Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist evaluates the origin of the problem and, in active individuals, the sports medicine physician can contribute their perspective. A timely professional evaluation helps understand the cause and protect mobility.
