Sciatica Los Angeles, CA

If you are experiencing back pain, you may be suffering from a condition known as Sciatica. It is important to see a well-trained professional concerning your back pain. The problem could be very serious and debilitating. Dr. Shannahoff of the Valley Spinal Decompression Center would like to help you. His office is conveniently located in Los Angeles, CA.

Sciatica is a very debilitating condition. It is caused by the compression of one of the five nerve roots of the sciatic never. The compression can be caused by a number of different conditions. It can be the result of old age. As we age, our spines lose important fluids that keep discs "spongy" and flexible. The spine becomes more susceptible to cracks. Spinal trauma or injury can also cause a patient to develop sciatica. Patients may feel pain in the lower back, buttock, legs or feet. Often, numbness, tingling and muscular weakness are symptoms of Sciatica.

The following conditions are closely linked with Sciatica:

- Spinal Stenosis
- Piriformis syndrome
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Trigger points
- Pregnancy
- And more
