That electric jolt down the back of your leg? It has a name—and a fix.
Sciatica happens when a nerve rooted in your lower back gets pinched, sending pain, numbness, or that unmistakable pins-and-needles feeling shooting into your hip, leg, and foot.
For a lot of folks around Lansing, it turns a simple task like getting out of the car or walking the dog into a wince-worthy event.
The good news: sciatica rarely needs surgery to settle down.
At the Pain Management Center of Lansing, our board-certified, fellowship-trained physicians have been treating Mid-Michigan since 1988. We start by finding the actual source of the nerve pain—then match it to the right treatment.
That might mean an epidural steroid injection to quiet inflammation around the nerve, radiofrequency ablation to interrupt stubborn pain signals, or a targeted nerve block to pinpoint the trouble spot. For persistent cases, sympathetic blocks and nerve stimulators offer options when other approaches fall short.
No guessing. No one-size-fits-all. Just a plan built around your leg, your pain, and your life.
