Sciatica

The Bonati Procedures can provide immediate relief with sciatica treatment, especially if your symptoms of sciatica pain are related to a herniated or bulging lower lumbar intervertebral disc that is compressing one of the nerve roots before it joins the sciatic nerve.



Our sciatica surgeries are an excellent alternative to open back surgeries that often result in long recuperation times.

Sciatica Treatment

A primary cause of sciatica is a herniated or bulging intervertebral disc that compresses the nerve root before it joins the sciatic nerve.

Several nerve roots leave the spinal cord and exit through holes in the sacrum to combine and form the sciatic nerve, which then passes between layers of the buttock muscles into the deep muscles of the back of the thigh.

Causes of Sciatic Pain

Sciatic pain results from the inflammation of the sciatic nerve and is usually marked by pain and tenderness along the course of the nerve running across the upper buttocks and the rear of the thighs.

Sciatica is usually a symptom caused by a herniated or bulging intervertebral lumbar disc. Its distinguishing feature is pain in the buttocks and behind the thighs.

Usually, extreme trauma is not the cause of sciatic pain. An action as simple as bending over may bring on symptoms of sciatica. Standing, lifting, sitting, or straining may aggravate it.

Sciatica and Ruptured Discs: Symptoms and Diagnosis

A ruptured disc may cause back pain and muscle spasms, but a more common complaint is sciatic pain.

A ruptured disc can generally be detected by a physical examination alone. Occasionally, a myelogram, CT scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is necessary to confirm diagnosis and determine if surgery is required.
