Sciatica Relief in Downtown Lebanon, Lebanon 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 Downtown Lebanon
Not every case of sciatica looks the same - some patients feel a constant, dull ache with occasional shooting pain, while others are stopped in their tracks by a single sudden movement. Both patterns usually point to the same underlying issue: pressure on the sciatic nerve somewhere along its path from the lower spine. Dr. Wesley Stewart has spent 29 years learning to tell these patterns apart and build a plan around each patient's specific presentation.
Near Lebanon's historic Town Square - steps from the Wilson County Courthouse and Cumberland University - many patients describe sciatica that began after long hours standing on the square's hard sidewalks or sitting through a full workday at a courthouse desk.
