“…I’ve been suffering from a pinched sciatic nerve for a little over 5 months. It was all, but debilitating. Doing anything hurt…hurt to lay sit, stand, walk, get dressed, sleep… It took a few tries, very likely because my situation was pretty extreme, but My pain has improved significantly since I started seeing Dr. Martinez. I’m not out of the woods yet and I’m sure I’ll have another treatment or two, but I’m so much better than I was. Dr. Martinez, and staff, thank you so much for helping me to regain my mobility…and sanity!!”

“…they saw me on a moments notice when I needed them the most. It took 4 months, but I am off the pain meds and the injections worked for me; sciatic and neuropathy from scar tissue due to a back operation. 2021 was an awful year (broken back, cancer, covid, liver kidney’s… and then the pain once I got off the fentanyl. I am living my life now. What was most inspiring was how Dr Mike and staff worked with the insurance companies and at times worked around their bureaucracy to get the injections on a fast track versus waiting three weeks while they danced around preapproving. I 100% recommend Way Out West … and they have the coolest office I have ever seen. Its an art museum. Love it and this team”

Went to dr Martinez after MRI and discussions I followed his recommendation and now it is 10 days later and the pain is gone. He is my MIRACLE WORKER and highly recommend”

Frequently Asked Questions About Sciatica Treatment in Fort Worth

What is sciatica and what causes it?

Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. It’s usually caused by a herniated disc, bone spur, or spinal stenosis compressing part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain, and often numbness or tingling in the affected leg. Dr. Martinez performs a comprehensive evaluation to identify the exact cause of your sciatica.

How do I know if I have sciatica?

Classic sciatica symptoms include pain that radiates from your lower back through your buttock and down the back of your leg, numbness or tingling in the leg or foot, weakness in the affected leg, and pain that worsens with sitting. The pain is typically one-sided and may feel like a sharp, burning sensation or electric shock.

Can sciatica be treated without surgery?

Yes, the vast majority of sciatica cases can be effectively treated without surgery. At WOW Spine, we offer epidural steroid injections, transforaminal injections, nerve root blocks, and physical therapy. These treatments can provide significant relief and help you avoid surgical intervention. Surgery is typically only considered when conservative treatments fail or there’s severe nerve compression.

How effective are epidural injections for sciatica?

Epidural steroid injections are highly effective for many sciatica patients. They deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the inflamed nerve root, providing relief that can last weeks to months. Many patients experience significant improvement after one or two injections, allowing them to participate more effectively in physical therapy and return to normal activities.

How long does sciatica treatment take to work?

Results vary depending on the severity of your condition and the treatment provided. Some patients experience relief within days of an epidural injection, while others may need multiple treatments over several weeks or months. Dr. Martinez will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for sciatica treatment?

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield Texas, Cigna, Humana, United Healthcare, and Medicare. Call 682-285-1044 and our staff will verify your coverage before your appointment.
