What actually causes sciatica?

Many people think sciatica is a diagnosis—but it's actually a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.

Some of the most common causes include:
✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Spinal stenosis
✔️ Bone spurs or arthritis
✔️ Inflammation putting pressure on the nerve

Understanding the source of your sciatica is the key to finding the right treatment and long-term relief.

In Part 2 of our series, we explain what may be causing your pain and why a proper evaluation is so important before choosing a treatment plan.

If you're experiencing pain that radiates down your leg, numbness, tingling, or weakness, don't ignore it. There may be non-surgical options that can help.

📩 Schedule a consultation today and let us help you identify the root cause of your pain.

Is it back pain… or could it be sciatica?

Sciatica isn't actually a condition—it's a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body.

Common symptoms include:
✔️ Pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttock or leg
✔️ Numbness or tingling
✔️ Burning or shooting pain
✔️ Weakness in the leg or foot

In this video, we explain what sciatica is, what causes it, and why getting the correct diagnosis is the first step toward lasting relief.

You don't have to live with the pain. If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, a comprehensive evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and determine the best treatment options.

📩 Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how we can help you get back to living pain-free.

What can an MRI really tell us about your back pain?

When evaluating Degenerative Disc Disease, we look at much more than just whether a disc is "worn out." MRI imaging can reveal important details about:

✔️ Disc height loss
✔️ Disc shape changes
✔️ Bulging or herniated discs
✔️ Spinal canal narrowing
✔️ Nerve involvement

Understanding these findings helps us identify the root cause of pain and determine the most appropriate treatment options.

If you've been living with chronic back pain, sciatica, numbness, or stiffness, getting the right diagnosis is the first step toward lasting relief.

📩 Schedule a consultation today to learn what's really causing your symptoms and whether non-surgical treatment options may help.

Years of stress, poor posture, injuries, repetitive strain, sitting too long, and everyday wear and tear can gradually place pressure on the spine and discs — leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced mobility.

In this video, we break down some of the common causes of disc degeneration and why identifying the root cause is so important when it comes to finding long-term relief.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic back pain, sciatica, or disc issues, there may be non-surgical options available to help.

📩 Schedule a consultation to learn more about your condition and the treatment options that may be right for you.

Preventing Spinal Surgery for Long-Term Relief

04/30/2026

Leg pain, tingling, or numbness can feel confusing, especially when it starts affecting how you walk, sit, sleep, or move through your day. These symptoms may be connected to nerve irritation, which is why guessing or waiting it out is not always the best next step.

The source matters. At American Back Centers, we help evaluate what may be contributing to sciatica-like symptoms and discuss non-surgical options that support healthier function and mobility. Schedule a free consultation when you are ready to get clarity: https://americanbackcenters.com/contact/

How long does it take to feel better when you are dealing with back pain, stiffness, or limited mobility?

The answer depends on the cause, how long it has been going on, and how consistent you are with the plan. Many people notice early changes in daily comfort or movement, while lasting progress often comes from addressing the root issue and building strength and stability over time. Schedule a consultation to get a realistic timeframe based on your case: https://americanbackcenters.com/contact/

Sharp back pain is not something to ignore, guess at, or push through. Random internet exercises may not match what your spine actually needs. The key is understanding what is driving the pain so the next step supports your body instead of adding more frustration. If pain travels into your leg or you notice numbness or tingling, schedule a free consultation with American Back Centers here: https://americanbackcenters.com/contact/

Back pain makes a lot of people do one of two things. They either stop moving completely or try to push through it and hope it passes. Neither choice is always the right one when the spine needs the right kind of support at the right time.

Too much rest may slow progress. The wrong movement may make things worse. Comment REST or MOVE below and tell us what you usually do first.
