Sciatica is the term used to describe the pain that radiates down the sciatic nerve, which stretches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks, down each leg. For most people, sciatica only affects one side of your body. Sciatica is common with herniated disks, bone spurs on the spine, or narrowing of the spine, squeezing part of the nerve. Over time, it causes inflammation, pain, and sometimes numbness in the affected leg.
The shock waves in the treatment we offer help boost blood circulation and accelerate the healing process in areas experiencing pain. Damaged tissue regenerates and eventually heals. This therapy also directs mechanically generated shockwaves at the injured tissues, leading to a healed spine. The regeneration of nerves helps increase the functional activity, showing significant improvement for the sciatic nerve.
