Sciatica: Relieve Nerve Pain and Restore Mobility Naturally

Sciatica treatment targets nerve pain, promoting natural healing and restoring mobility for lasting relief and comfort.

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica is a painful condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve—the body’s largest nerve, which runs from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. When this nerve becomes pinched or inflamed, it can cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness along its path.

While many people describe sciatica as “nerve pain in the leg,” it’s often rooted in spinal or muscular dysfunction. Common triggers include a herniated disc, bone spur, or muscle tightness (like piriformis syndrome). The pain can range from mild tingling to sharp, shooting sensations that make standing, sitting, or walking uncomfortable.

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we go beyond symptom management. Our goal is to restore nerve health and balance by addressing the root cause through advanced regenerative therapies that help your body heal itself—naturally, effectively, and without surgery.

What Causes Sciatica?

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, irritated, or inflamed. This can happen anywhere along its path, but most often originates in the lower back (lumbar spine). The most common causes include:

Herniated or bulging disc

The soft cushion between vertebrae can press on the sciatic nerve.

Spinal stenosis

Narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on nerve roots.

Degenerative disc disease

ge-related wear can cause vertebrae to irritate nearby nerves.

Piriformis syndrome

Tightness or spasm in the piriformis muscle (deep in the buttocks) compresses the sciatic nerve.

Spondylolisthesis

A vertebra slips out of place, pinching the nerve.

Inflammation or poor circulation

Chronic inflammation or lack of oxygen in tissues can irritate nerves.

Muscle imbalance or poor posture

Uneven movement patterns put strain on the lower back and hips.

While traditional medicine often focuses on pain management through injections or medication, Everest Regenerative Medicine focuses on true healing—reducing inflammation, restoring tissue health, and improving nerve function from the inside out.

What Symptoms Will I Experience with Sciatica?

In mild cases, symptoms come and go. In chronic cases, they can last for months or even years—especially when inflammation, muscle tension, or disc damage is left unresolved.
At Everest, our goal is not only to relieve pain but to restore full function, allowing you to move freely and confidently again.

Sciatica symptoms can vary widely depending on where and how the nerve is affected. The pain often starts in the lower back or buttock and radiates down one leg, sometimes reaching the foot or toes. Common symptoms include:

Sharp, shooting pain down the leg

Numbness or tingling in the leg or foot

Burning or electric sensations that worsen when sitting or standing for long periods

Weakness or heaviness in the affected leg

Pain that intensifies with coughing, sneezing, or bending

Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

What Should I Try at Home Before Seeing a Provider for Sciatica?

If your sciatica symptoms are mild or recent, several self-care strategies may help ease discomfort before seeking professional care:

Gentle stretching and mobility work

Focus on hip, hamstring, and lower back stretches to release tension around the sciatic nerve.

Apply heat or cold therapy

Ice can calm acute inflammation; heat relaxes tight muscles and improves circulation.

Stay active (lightly)

Prolonged bed rest can worsen stiffness—try short walks or gentle yoga to keep muscles moving.

Optimize nutrition

Anti-inflammatory foods like berries, greens, omega-3s, and lean proteins can help reduce swelling and promote repair.

Practice good posture

Avoid slouching, crossing legs, or prolonged sitting; use lumbar support when possible.

Anti-inflammatory nutrition

Eat foods rich in omega-3s, antioxidants, and minerals that support nerve and joint health.

Avoid lifting heavy objects

Especially if pain is sharp or radiates down your leg.

Sleep smart

Use a pillow between your knees (side sleeping) or under your knees (back sleeping) to relieve pressure on the lower spine.

If pain lasts longer than two weeks, interferes with your daily life, or causes significant weakness or numbness, it’s time to consult a regenerative medicine provider who can identify the root cause and initiate deep, lasting healing.

Best Treatment Options for Sciatica

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we treat sciatica using advanced regenerative and functional therapies that repair tissue, reduce inflammation, and restore nerve communication. Our approach is designed to heal—not just hide—pain.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

PRP harnesses your body’s own growth factors to reduce inflammation, repair tissue, and enhance healing around the compressed nerve. It’s particularly effective when sciatica is related to disc, tendon, or joint damage.

Exosome Therapy

Exosomes are microscopic cellular messengers that stimulate regeneration, promote nerve repair, and regulate inflammation at the cellular level—an innovative option for chronic nerve irritation.

Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy increases oxygen delivery to tissues and reduces chronic inflammation while improving circulation. It’s effective for sciatica caused by disc or muscular compression.

Peptide Therapy

Healing peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 promote nerve repair, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery by enhancing cellular communication and regeneration.

Functional Rehabilitation & Alignment Correction

We focus on restoring balance and alignment through targeted exercises and postural correction to relieve nerve compression and prevent recurrence.

Hormone & Nutrient Optimization

Low hormone levels or nutrient deficiencies can impair nerve health and tissue repair. We help correct these imbalances to support your body’s natural healing ability.

Each plan is custom-tailored to your body, condition, and goals—because true healing requires personalization.

Our Process for Treating Pain & Injury

At Everest Regenerative Medicine, we view every patient as a partner in their healing journey. Our process combines cutting-edge science with compassionate, individualized care:

Comprehensive Consultation & Listening

We begin by understanding your symptoms, lifestyle, and pain history—because no two cases of sciatica are the same.

Targeted Evaluation & Diagnostics

We assess your spinal alignment, muscle tone, and movement patterns, using imaging if necessary to pinpoint the exact cause of nerve compression.

Personalized Regenerative Treatment Plan

Based on your results, we craft a plan using PRP, exosomes, ozone, peptides, or a combination—designed to relieve pressure, repair tissues, and calm nerve inflammation.

Minimally Invasive Treatments

In-office procedures are performed precisely and safely, often requiring little to no downtime.

Rehabilitation & Functional Recovery

As pain decreases, we guide you through posture correction, core strengthening, and movement retraining to ensure long-term relief.

Ongoing Support & Prevention

We monitor your progress and optimize your plan as you heal—helping you move, live, and perform better than before.

This holistic approach reflects the Everest promise: advanced science, personalized care, and lasting transformation.
