Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and tingling in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back down through the hips and buttocks and into each leg. When this nerve becomes compressed or irritated, the resulting pain is known as sciatica. It is characterized by a sharp, shooting pain that radiates down one or both legs, making everyday activities like walking or sitting difficult. 

What is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve plays a crucial role in providing feeling and movement to the lower body. However, when it’s affected by problems like a herniated disc, arthritis, or excess bone growth, it can lead to pain and inconvenience, the hallmark symptoms of sciatica.

Symptoms of Sciatica

Sciatica often begins in the lumbar spine due to natural degenerative processes and can cause a range of painful symptoms, including:

• Discomfort typically starts in the lower back and can travel down to the buttocks, thigh, and calf.
• Sciatica pain intensity can vary from a dull throb to a sharp, shooting sensation.
• Sometimes, it feels like an electric shock down the leg.
• Certain actions like coughing, sneezing, or prolonged sitting can worsen symptoms.
• Sciatica usually affects one side of the body, causing asymmetrical symptoms.
• Sciatica brings not just pain but also sensory issues that add to the distress of the person suffering.

This might include feelings of numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected limb, making it harder to use normally. It can be a strange contrast: while one part of the leg is in intense pain, another part feels oddly numb. This mix of sensations highlights the particular characteristic of sciatica, blending different feelings to contribute to your discomfort.

Artificial disc replacement, or disc arthroplasty, is an innovative surgical procedure to restore stability in the spinal column when cushioning discs between vertebrae have been damaged or deteriorated. Princeton Brain, Spine & Sports Medicine’s experienced neurosurgeons are fellowship-trained to perform this state-of-the-art procedure at leading affiliated hospitals in PA and NJ.

What Is Artificial Disc Replacement?
For years, the traditional treatment for herniated, damaged or degenerated spinal discs has been a procedure called spinal fusion, where two or more vertebrae are joined together to stabilize the spine and alleviate pain in the neck and back. This fusion of vertebrae results in a loss of spinal flexibility. With artificial disc replacement, the damaged disc is restored with an FDA-approved replacement disc consisting of two metal plates or two metal plates separated by plastic padding. The metal plates glide over one another and the plastic disc, restoring the natural function of the spine and preserving the patient’s ability to bend forward, backward and side-to-side.

Spinal decompression surgery includes several procedures designed to relieve your back pain. Decompression surgery takes the pressure off of neural points in your spine. During the surgery, doctors at your NJ spine surgery center remove parts of your spine or fuse them together.
If you suffer from chronic back issues, finding a trustworthy spine pain center is the first step to finally getting relief from persistent discomfort. At our spine and pain center, doctors provide exceptional diagnosis and treatment, including decompression surgery and other back surgeries, placing them at the top of New Jersey orthopedics.

WHO’S A CANDIDATE FOR DECOMPRESSION SURGERY?

You qualify for this surgery if your back pain stops you from enjoying normal activities and if other remedies haven’t worked. With a firm diagnosis, your NJ spinal doctor may first recommend conservative treatments, such as:

- Chiropractic care

- Physical therapy

- Traction or inversion

- Acupuncture

- Nerve stimulation

- Spinal injection therapy

If those treatments fail to relieve your back pain, you’re considered a good candidate for surgical intervention, as long as you’re healthy enough to withstand anesthesia and normal surgical trauma. Your doctor also may require you to stop smoking or take other health measures before recommending any surgery.
