Sciatica Relief in Cool Springs, Franklin TN
Sciatica is the sharp, burning, or tingling pain that starts in the lower back and radiates through the hip and down the leg - sometimes all the way to the foot. It rarely comes from one big injury; more often it builds gradually from everyday habits like prolonged sitting, poor lifting form, or sleeping in positions that quietly irritate the sciatic nerve.
Treating Sciatica in Cool Springs
Office workers are some of the most common sciatica patients we see, and the reason is simple: hours of sitting place continuous pressure on the discs in the lower spine, often irritating the sciatic nerve without any single dramatic injury. That steady, cumulative pressure is exactly what Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years identifying and relieving for patients across Williamson County and beyond.
In Cool Springs - Franklin's dense retail and office corridor along Cool Springs Boulevard near I-65 - long days at a desk followed by a stop-and-go commute are a near-daily pattern behind the sciatica cases we treat from the area.
