Sciatica Treatment in Scottsdale, Peoria, Phoenix, and Mesa, Arizona

Sciatica causes pain that radiates from the lower back down through the legs, often making it difficult to sit, stand, or move comfortably. At Mountain View Headache & Spine Institute, with locations across Scottsdale, Peoria, Phoenix, and Mesa, Arizona, we provide comprehensive care to help patients find lasting relief.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve — the body’s largest nerve — becomes irritated or compressed. This can happen due to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs. Symptoms may include sharp, shooting pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, along with tingling or numbness.

Why is Treatment Important?

Ignoring sciatica can lead to worsening nerve pain, loss of mobility, or long-term nerve damage. Treating the condition early ensures relief from pain, reduces inflammation, and prevents chronic complications.

How We Provide Personalized Care

Our physician, Ruchir Gupta, MD, uses advanced diagnostics like X-rays and CT scans to pinpoint the cause of sciatic nerve irritation. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and may include:

• Targeted injections to reduce nerve inflammation.
• Medication management to ease discomfort.
• Minimally invasive procedures for long-term relief without major surgery.
• Ongoing adjustments to ensure results are effective and lasting.
