When I went to CuraLase, I felt old. I am 55 and felt at least 70. I was unable to climb my front steps and had difficulty unloading groceries. Diagnosed with sciatica 15 years earlier, I had been going to a pain clinic for 10 years. After CuraLase treatments, my pain level has gone from 8 to 0. I can climb my steps without pain. I have to admit that the pain is just not there! I’m not afraid to go with my family on a winter vacation to Las Vegas that will require a lot of walking. I am very grateful to CuraLase!

Sciatica Treatment
Treatments For Sciatica Pain

Sciatica

Are you controlled by sciatica pain and overwhelmed by what that means? Does the pain extend from your lower back into your buttocks and down one or both legs? Have epidurals, pain medications or surgery failed to relieve your pain?

There is hope! There is relief! There is CuraLase!

One in 10 Americans suffer with some form of sciatic nerve pain. For some, sciatica is a mild annoyance, and for others it can be totally debilitating. Many people opt for risky surgical procedures that are mostly ineffective, while others try to live with the pain and lose the quality of their life.

Symptoms of Sciatica

  • Mild to severe debilitating pain in the buttocks or legs
  • Difficulty with walking or other normal activity
  • Weakness or numbness in the leg or foot
  • Burning or tingling in the leg
  • Constant pain on one side of the buttock
  • Shooting electrical pain down one or both legs

CuraLase Treatment

  • CuraLase has an 87% success rate in relieving pain.
  • We resolve the pain by targeting the source, not the symptoms.

Anatomy

The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the human body and is as thick as a man’s thumb at its largest point. The sciatic nerve originates in the lower spine, where the nerve roots exit the spinal cord and extend all the way down the back of the legs into the toes. The nerve is made up of a total of five nerve roots that converge to form the sciatic nerve. It is formed on the right and left side of the spine by a combination of the fourth and fifth lumbar nerves and the first three nerves of the sacral spine. Each nerve exits the spine between two vertebral segments and is named for the segment above it.

Causes of Sciatica

Sciatica is a form of peripheral neuropathy (dysfunction of a nerve). This dysfunction occurs when there is injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve. The irritated nerve roots in the lumbar or lumbosacral spine can originate from many different low back conditions.

  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Inflammation
  • Bone spur
  • Lumbar spine stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back)
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spondylisthesis (condition in which one vertebrae slips forward over another)
  • Pregnancy

Other factors that may increase your back pain include overweight, lack of exercise, wearing high heels, and sleeping on a soft mattress.

MY CONDITION

Diversity of Conditions Treated

CuraLase effectively treats the pain associated with a wide range of conditions in the body, including swollen and damaged joints (e.g., shoulders and knees), spinal conditions (e.g., backs and necks), neurological pain (e.g., neuropathy and migraines) and autoimmune conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia). We often resolve chronic pain that has not responded to traditional medical treatment.

Patient Experience

The first step is to schedule a consultation with the physician. Our physicians are primary care medical doctors or specialists. The physician reviews the medical history and any related reports that the patient may bring. A physical assessment—such as checking vital signs, eyes, ears, and throat—is not performed; however, the physician assesses painful points to help make an appropriate diagnosis. After making a diagnosis, the physician prescribes a protocol and treatment plan. This protocol designates the number of treatments, the number of minutes per treatment, and the frequency of treatments per week.

After seeing the physician, the patient meets with the patient coordinator to develop a schedule for the treatments to begin. A copy of the schedule for the entire treatment plan is provided to the patient.

A certified therapist administers the treatments and documents the patient’s progress. The physician and the treatment therapist monitor the patient’s progress and reevaluate the patient’s condition as needed. On or near the last day of treatment, the physician meets with the patient for an exit reevaluation. During this exit reevaluation, the physician and the patient evaluate the outcome and any additional needs the patient may have for treatment. A few more treatments for the same condition may be needed, or the patient may have another condition that needs treatment.

My pain was constant. I had no life. Walking and standing were a chore. I couldn’t cook or clean. Since my treatments, I can walk on the beach with my husband and carry my 25-pound grandson up and down steps. Life is great! After six years of hard, constant pain, I have my life back!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Is the quality of your life controlled by pain and the inability to function? There is hope! There is relief! There is CuraLase!

CuraLase delivers pain relief and increased blood flow while providing warm therapeutic relief of muscle spasms.

The human body contains trillions of cells which are functional units for all living things. Each cell is an amazing world unto itself. It can take in nutrients, convert nutrients into energy, perform many special functions and reproduce itself. Each cell stores its own set of instructions and energy for carrying out specific activities.

Clinical evidence around the world demonstrates that laser energy stimulates the function of the cell in several ways. This evidence indicates:

  • Laser energy is electromagnetic waves of energy carrying bundles of energy called photons. The cells are capable of absorbing this energy directly into the Krebs cycle. This higher state of energy enhances the function of the cell.
  • Other cellular responses include increased permeability and elasticity of the cell walls, allowing fluid that is trapped between the cells (lymphedema/inflammation) to flow back into the system and out through the natural waste processes. This often gives immediate improvement in range of motion and relief to joint pain and pitting edema.
  • This improved elasticity also allows the blood vessels to dilate, thus increasing blood flow. The increased blood flow in the capillaries produces relief to the burning, stinging discomfort of neuropathic pain and facilitates faster wound healing.

    • After 20 years of severe back pain and heavy medications, I went to CuraLase for laser therapy. Now I can play golf again with no pain.

  • Laser energy stimulates cells, including undifferentiated lymphocyte cells, to a higher level of activity. These unique cells can transform into many different kinds of cells, including phagocyte cells that miraculously appear at the site of an injury to clean the area. Undifferentiated lymphocyte cells can become bone, skin, muscle or most kinds of tissue needed. When the underlying condition is resolved, the pain is also resolved

CuraLase effectively treats the pain caused by many conditions, including swollen and damaged joints, spinal pain, damaged nerve tissue, autoimmune conditions and even some viral infections.
