Southern Pain and Spine Specialists Charlotte Nc Sciatica is typically caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down the legs. Common causes include:

Herniated Disc: When a spinal disc ruptures and presses on the nerve.
Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on the nerve.
Spondylolisthesis: When one vertebra slips forward onto another.
Piriformis Syndrome: Compression of the nerve by the piriformis muscle.
Injury or Trauma: Such as a fall or accident.
Degenerative Disc Disease: Wear and tear on spinal discs.
Interventional pain management can help by targeting the source of pain more directly and providing relief. Common treatments include:

Epidural Steroid Injections: Anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the epidural space to reduce inflammation and pain.
Nerve Blocks: Local anesthetics and steroids are injected near the affected nerve to block pain signals.
Radiofrequency Ablation: Heat is used to destroy nerve fibers responsible for transmitting pain signals.
Spinal Cord Stimulation: An implanted device sends electrical pulses to interfere with pain signals.
Physical Therapy: Helps with strengthening, flexibility, and posture to reduce sciatic pain.
Medications: Such as pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatories may also be used.
The choice of intervention depends on the underlying cause and severity of sciatica, and it's typically determined by a healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.
