What are the non-surgical treatment options for sciatica in Atlanta?

Sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy) is usually caused by irritation or compression of a spinal nerve—often from a disc bulge/herniation, spinal stenosis, or inflammation. Many cases improve without surgery when treatment is targeted.

Non-surgical options in Atlanta typically include:

• Physical therapy (nerve glides, core stabilization, movement retraining)
• Image-guided epidural steroid injections to calm nerve inflammation
• Medication management that supports mobility (without leaning on opioids)
• Activity modification + progressive rehab to prevent flare-ups
