Sciatic Pain Affecting the Leg and Foot
Our Approach :

Sciatic pain, neuropathic pain, numbness, and muscle weakness can develop for many different reasons. For some people, these symptoms appear gradually due to metabolic conditions such as diabetes. For others, they may begin suddenly after an accident, injury, or nerve compression. In more advanced cases, nerve dysfunction can lead to foot drop, where lifting the front of the foot becomes difficult. Because these symptoms can come from multiple sources, identifying the exact cause is often challenging—this is why many individuals struggle to find consistent or lasting relief.

While there is no single method that can completely eliminate neuropathic or sciatic pain without the possibility of recurrence, research shows that a multimodal approach offers the best outcomes. This may include targeted stretching and strengthening, dietary and medication management guided by your healthcare team, proper hydration, and advanced neuromodulation therapies.
Studies suggest that this type of combined care may reduce pain, numbness, and nerve‑related symptoms
by 40–70%, depending on the individual.

From a podiatry perspective, correcting the way the body moves plays a crucial role in reducing nerve irritation. Improving gait mechanics, supporting proper foot, knee, and hip alignment, and using appropriate neuromodulation techniques can help reduce pressure on irritated nerves and improve overall function. Addressing these biomechanical factors often leads to better long‑term outcomes and improved mobility.

Our Neuropathic Pain Recovery Program is built around this principle.
We use a holistic, technology‑supported strategy focused on neurological foot/leg assessment, biomechanics assessment, functional assessment, related education, and treatment including improving nerve function, restoring mobility, and enhancing overall comfort.

One of the most advanced tools we incorporate is Stimpod neuromodulation therapy—a non‑invasive technique designed to stimulate and help reset nerve pathways, supporting natural healing and improving communication between nerves and muscles.

What makes this especially valuable is that Stimpod therapy is performed by a podiatrist trained extensively in this specialized method, offering a level of precision and expertise not commonly found in standard clinical environments. When integrated into a comprehensive care plan, this approach may help reduce neuropathic pain, improve sensation, and support muscle strength.

To properly evaluate therapeutic response, three to five sessions are typically needed. Throughout this process, we guide you step‑by‑step, helping you navigate your recovery pathway with clarity and confidence.

Our mission is simple: to provide modern, effective solutions that address the root of the problem—not just the symptoms—and support you in achieving lasting relief and a better quality of life.
