Sciatica--pain along the large sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back down the back of each leg--is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain. However, the term sciatica is often misused, and patients may try to self-diagnose and self-treat the wrong cause of their sciatica or they may not actually have sciatica.

Sciatica commonly refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve and is typically felt in the rear, down the back of the leg and possibly to the foot. Sciatica is one of the most common forms of pain caused by compression of the spinal nerves, and the leg pain often feels much worse than the back pain.

For some people, sciatica pain can be severe and debilitating. For others, the sciatica symptoms might be infrequent and irritating, but have the potential to get worse.

The gentleman appears to be experiencing pain from nerve root compression at L5-S1. A MRI performed in August of 2000 confirms a disc herniation at the L5-S1and at L4-L5. Specific information is not given regarding nerve root compression/central or lateral recess stenosis. A comprehensive conservative treatment history is needed before any chiropractic treatment, one that provides insight into the types of physical therapy procedures, osteopathic manipulative techniques, home exercises and ergonomic recommendations.

Based on the studies history and physical exam, this would not be a good patient for a surgical candidate. The MRI scan does not show much in the way of any nerve root pinching from either a disc herniation or stenosis. Although the L5-S1 axial scans are not shown, this scan also does not show any nerve root pinching. He actually has quite a patent canal. Also his pain is both when sitting and standing, and stenotic pain is usually just with prolonged standing or walking. Lastly, the epidurals helped a bit, but not dramatically.
