Sciatica Treatment in Dallas, TX

The term sciatica describes the symptoms of leg pain (and possibly tingling, numbness or weakness) that starts in the lower back and travels through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg. Sciatica is not a medical diagnosis—it is a symptom of an underlying spine problem, such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or a herniated disc. The surgeons at Texas Spine Associates are experts in addressing sciatica and its associated symptoms

If you’re experiencing symptoms of sciatica, don’t wait to see a specialist. For patients in the Dallas area, the team at Texas Spine Associates is here to help. Our spine surgeons are all members of the North American Spine Society and have extensive experience accurately diagnosing and effectively treating sciatica. Contact us today to schedule an appointment in Arlington, Flower Mound, Fort Worth, Granbury, Irving, Southlake, or Weatherford.

What Are the Symptoms of Sciatica?

  • Constant pain in one side of the buttock or leg
  • Leg pain that is often described as burning, tingling, or searing (vs. a dull pain or ache)
  • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
  • A sharp pain that may make it difficult to stand up or walk

How Is Sciatica Diagnosed?

Minor symptoms of sciatica will resolve over time. If symptoms are intense and continue for several weeks, or result from a sudden injury, you likely need treatment. Dr. Neil Shah, Dr. Vishal Patel, and Dr. Christopher Happ are highly experienced in diagnosing the causes of sciatica and other spinal disorders as well as providing both surgical and non-surgical care.
