Sciatica Tenafly Bergen County, New Jersey

Do you have this burning pain shooting down the back of your leg but you don't know where it's coming from? Sciatica affects millions of Americans but it is often left untreated. Dr. David Podell, DC can treat your sciatica properly. He is the head of the Waterfront Institute in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Sciatica results from a herniated disc in the lower spine, when the disc pinches the roots of the sciatic nerve. Searing pain extends from your lower back down to the back of your leg; it is often described as an extreme tingling or pins-and-needles sensation. If left untreated, the pain may or may not go away, remaining for months at a time in some cases. Fortunately, surgery is usually not required to experience a full recovery.
