Sciatica & Nerve Pain in Fort Collins

Shooting pain down your leg is often sciatica, an irritated nerve, not something you have to live with. We relieve it without surgery.

Quick answer

Sciatica is pain that travels from the low back down the leg when the sciatic nerve is compressed or irritated, often by a disc. We relieve the pressure on the nerve without drugs or surgery.

What is sciatica & nerve pain?

Sciatica describes pain that radiates from the low back or buttock down the leg, usually because a nerve is being pinched or irritated, frequently by a herniated or bulging disc.

Rather than masking the pain, we work to take pressure off the nerve so the pain has a reason to settle.

Common symptoms

  • Shooting or burning pain down one leg
  • Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot
  • Pain that worsens with sitting or standing
  • Weakness in the leg
  • Low back pain accompanying leg symptoms

How we treat it without surgery
