Minimally invasive treatment for sciatic nerve pain offers lasting relief for patients suffering from sciatica—a condition caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, typically in the lower spine. At Oregon Neurosurgery in Springfield, our board-certified neurosurgeons specialize in advanced, minimally invasive procedures to treat sciatic nerve pain at its source. Sciatica often results from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, or spondylolisthesis in the lumbar spine, leading to symptoms such as sharp leg pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness that radiates down the buttock and leg.

Our minimally invasive sciatic nerve treatments are designed to reduce nerve compression while preserving healthy tissue and minimizing recovery time. These procedures typically involve small incisions and the use of real-time imaging to guide precise surgical tools. Common minimally invasive techniques include microdiscectomy, laminotomy, and foraminotomy—each focused on relieving pressure on the sciatic nerve without the need for open surgery. Because these procedures involve less tissue disruption, patients often experience shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain, and faster returns to normal activity.

At Oregon Neurosurgery, we prioritize conservative care first, including physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and epidural steroid injections. However, when these options no longer provide adequate relief, our minimally invasive surgical solutions offer a safe and effective alternative. If you’re struggling with ongoing sciatic nerve pain and want expert care in a supportive, modern environment, contact Oregon Neurosurgery in Springfield today. Our team is committed to helping you regain comfort, mobility, and quality of life through precision-based, minimally invasive spine care.
