Sciatica Treatment in Watertown, CT — Relief for Low Back & Leg Pain

Living with sciatica can make everyday activities — such as sitting, walking, driving, working, and sleeping — painful and frustrating. Fortunately, many patients improve with conservative spine-focused care designed to reduce irritation and improve mobility. At Watertown Spine & Injury Center in Watertown, CT, patients receive evidence-driven musculoskeletal care focused on relieving sciatic pain, restoring movement, and helping improve overall function.

Understanding Sciatica

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve or related spinal nerves become irritated or compressed. Consequently, symptoms often begin in the lower back or buttock and may travel into the hip, thigh, calf, or foot. In some cases, symptoms may develop gradually, while in others they may appear suddenly following lifting, twisting, prolonged sitting, or injury.

Sciatica may cause:

• Low back pain and stiffness
• Buttock or hip pain
• Pain radiating down the leg
• Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
• Burning sensations or electric-like pain
• Weakness or heaviness in the leg
• Pain aggravated by sitting, bending, lifting, or driving

Sciatic symptoms may develop from:

• disc herniation
• spinal stenosis
• degenerative disc changes
• muscle irritation
• joint dysfunction
• accident-related injury
• inflammation involving spinal structures
