Get long-lasting relief from radiating leg and back pain with the best minimally invasive sciatica treatment in Los Angeles.

What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a painful condition that occurs when the sciatic nerve, your body’s longest nerve, becomes compressed or irritated. The sciatic nerve originates in the lower back and travels through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. When pinched by a herniated disc, bone spur, spinal stenosis, or another spinal condition, it can cause sharp, burning, or radiating pain along its path.

At his Los Angeles clinic, Dr. Parham Yashar provides expert diagnosis and tailored treatment plans to relieve sciatic nerve pain at its source. With a focus on minimally invasive solutions, Dr. Yashar helps patients return to their active lives without prolonged downtime or unnecessary surgery.

Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica symptoms typically affect one side of the body and can vary in intensity, from mild discomfort to debilitating pain. Common signs include:

  • Sharp, shooting pain from the lower back down the leg
  • Numbness or tingling in the buttock, leg, or foot
  • Muscle weakness in the affected leg
  • Pain that worsens with sitting, coughing, or sneezing
  • A burning or electric shock-like sensation down the leg

How is Sciatica Treated?

Dr. Yashar begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical exam, imaging, and a full review of your symptoms to identify the root cause of your sciatica. In most cases, non-surgical options are highly effective in reducing inflammation and relieving nerve pressure.

Conservative treatment options include:

  • Anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants
  • Physical therapy to improve flexibility and core strength
  • Targeted stretches and posture training
  • Epidural steroid injections to reduce nerve inflammation
  • Activity modifications and ergonomic adjustments

Minimally invasive procedures are considered when pain persists, including:

  • Microdiscectomy: to remove a portion of a herniated disc that is compressing the nerve
  • Laminectomy: to relieve pressure caused by spinal stenosis
  • Endoscopic spine surgery: for precision decompression with less tissue disruption
  • Spinal fusion: in rare, severe cases where spinal instability is a factor

Dr. Yashar’s patient-centered approach means surgery is only recommended when absolutely necessary, and always tailored to your goals for function, recovery, and long-term wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Sciatica

Can sciatica come back after treatment?

Even after recovery, flares can recur, especially if the underlying disc/stenosis issue remains; building core/hip strength and maintaining activity can reduce risk.

Is sciatica permanent?

Not usually. Most people recover fully with conservative treatment, though recurrence is possible. Identifying and addressing the root cause reduces the risk of chronic symptoms.

When should I see a doctor for sciatica?

You should seek professional care if the pain lasts more than a week, becomes progressively worse, or is accompanied by leg weakness, numbness, or bowel/bladder changes, as these may indicate a more serious underlying issue.
