Back & Sciatica Pain Overview
Eight in ten adults battle low-back pain, and as many as 40 % develop true sciatica—a sharp, electric pain that shoots down the leg when a disc bulge or spinal stenosis pinches the sciatic nerve. While many flare-ups ease within weeks, roughly one in five becomes chronic and activity-limiting. Untreated inflammation can spread from a single disc to surrounding facet joints, ligaments, and muscles, entrenching pain pathways.
Common Symptoms
Deep, aching lumbar soreness
Radiating Sharp or Burning Leg Pain
Tingling, Pins-and- Needles, or Leg Weakness
Pain Worse When Sitting, Bending, or Coughing
Conditions Treated by Stem Cell Therapy
Sciatica isn’t one-size-fits-all. Most flare-ups start with one of these trouble spots:
- Herniated (bulging) lumbar disc: Soft disc material slips out and presses on a nerve root.
- Spinal Stenosis: Arthritis and thickened ligaments tighten the spinal canal, crowding several nerves at once.
- Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: An arthritic joint lets one vertebra slide forward, pinching the nerves behind it.
- Piriformis Syndrome: An over-tight buttock muscle traps the sciatic nerve as it passes into the leg.
How We Diagnose
Targeted Neuro Exam
reflex, strength, and sensation checks tell us which nerve root is irritated.
On-site MRI or ultrasound
high-resolution imaging shows discs, joints, and soft tissues in real time.
Image-guided diagnostic block
reflex, strength, and sensation checks tell us which nerve root is irritated.
Biologic vs Traditional Treatments
Why Back Pain Persists
A small tear in a disc’s outer ring lets inflammatory proteins bathe nearby nerves. Disc height loss then overloads the facet joints; thickening of the ligamentum flavum narrows the canal; core-muscle shutdown steals spinal stability. Without intervention, this cascade fuels a vicious cycle of stiffness, muscle spasm, and recurrent nerve irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Back pain may result from disc degeneration, nerve compression, joint inflammation, or muscle imbalance. Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is irritated, often by a herniated disc or inflammation. Both conditions can limit daily function. To better understand how these issues are treated without surgery, explore our Back & Spine PRP Therapy.
Yes. Regenerative treatments like PRP and stem cell therapy may help reduce nerve inflammation, support soft tissue recovery, and improve mobility. These approaches are ideal when conservative care hasn’t provided relief. Visit our Stem Cell Therapy Overview to learn how biologics can be used for spinal conditions like sciatica.
Most patients experience improvements in 4 to 8 weeks, with continued progress over 3 to 6 months. Response depends on the severity of nerve involvement and activity level. Your plan is customized to your needs. For those considering a long-term solution, review our 6-Month Regenerative Program for structured care.
Not always. Many patients avoid surgery by using PRP or stem cell injections to reduce inflammation and support disc and nerve health. We evaluate each case individually and offer options that align with your recovery goals. To explore alternatives to spine surgery, visit our Conditions We Treat.
Yes. PRP and stem cell therapies can be effective for chronic lower back pain caused by soft tissue damage, joint inflammation, or degenerative changes. These treatments may restore function and reduce long-standing discomfort. For more information on spine-focused therapies, visit our Back & Spine PRP.
Most patients can maintain light activity with guidance from our care team. Recovery protocols are personalized and may include specific movement recommendations. Staying gently active may support circulation and healing. To learn how our providers support long-term recovery, meet our team on the Providers.
