Sciatica Pain
in Livonia & Sterling Heights, MI
Suffering from the sharp, shooting leg pain of sciatica? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to live with it. At Synergy Health Partners, our dedicated spine specialists in Livonia and Sterling Heights are here to accurately diagnose the cause of your sciatica and provide effective, personalized treatment to get you back to living comfortably. Don’t wait for the pain to worsen.
What is Sciatica and Why Does it Hurt?
Sciatica isn’t a condition itself, but rather a symptom of an underlying problem pressing on the sciatic nerve – the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower back down each leg. When this nerve is irritated, typically by a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or bone spur, it can cause debilitating pain, numbness, or weakness in your leg and foot. We’re here to find that root cause.

Common Symptoms of Sciatica We Treat
If you’re experiencing any of the following, our team can help:
- Shooting pain that radiates from your lower back, through your buttock, and down one leg.
- Numbness, tingling (“pins and needles”), or weakness in the affected leg or foot.
- Pain that worsens when sitting, coughing, or sneezing.
- Difficulty walking or standing due to pain.
Your Path to Sciatica Relief
At Synergy Health Partners, we believe in a patient-first approach, starting with the most conservative treatments that are effective for your specific situation. Our goal is to relieve your pain and restore function with the least invasive methods possible.
Accurate Diagnosis
Our first step is always a thorough evaluation, including a physical exam and, if necessary, advanced imaging (like MRI) available at our Livonia and Sterling Heights locations, to pinpoint the exact cause of your sciatica.
Conservative Care
Many patients find significant relief with non-surgical treatments such as:
- Targeted Physical Therapy: Customized exercises to reduce nerve pressure and improve mobility.
- Anti-inflammatory Medications: To reduce swelling and pain.
- Advanced Pain Management: Including image-guided epidural steroid injections to deliver medication directly to the source of inflammation.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Options
When conservative treatments aren’t enough, or if there’s significant nerve compression, our board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons are experts in minimally invasive procedures like microdiscectomy. These techniques use tiny incisions to remove the pressure on the nerve, leading to faster recovery and less discomfort than traditional surgery.
