Gulf Coast Spine Care Introduces New Sciatica Identification Methods
Houston, TX (PRWEB) September 12, 2013 -- Gulf Coast Spine Care is a highly reputable pain center that has been specializing in providing effective diagnostic and treatment options for many types of health conditions that cause neck and back pain for years. Recently, this reputable medical office has introduced new identification methods for those suffering from sciatica.
An Initial Diagnosis
The most important step to take when treating neck and back pain is to accurately diagnose the condition. Many conditions can cause pain and other related symptoms in this area of the body, and the most effective treatments for one condition may not be most effective for another condition. Therefore, receiving an initial diagnosis is the first step to take when trying to treat a health condition. The board certified surgeons at Gulf Coast Spine Care now offer new identification methods that can be used to effectively diagnose this condition in valued patients at Gulf Coast Spine Care.
The Treatment Options
There are many types of treatments that can be used after patients have received an accurate diagnosis of sciatica. At Gulf Coast Spine Care, the board certified surgeons have over 20 years of experience assisting local patients in the Houston area with treatment, and one of the most effective treatment options used today for sciatica patients is a type of orthopedic surgery. Not every individual who has sciatica should be treated with a surgical solution. For example, some causes of sciatica are related to pregnancy. After childbirth, the symptoms of sciatica often will be alleviated on their own and may never return. For other causes of sciatica, however, surgical treatment will address the underlying cause of the sciatica with effective results. The team at Gulf Coast Spine will help each patient explore treatment options in detail.
The Results
Some treatments for sciatica provide temporary or short-term relief, and others require a patient to regularly take pain medications for relief. These options are not ideal because they do not provide a long-term solution that addresses the underlying cause of the problem. A surgical solution may address the underlying cause of sciatica, and it may resolve that cause to ease the symptoms. When surgery is recommended as a treatment option, it may provide the best results possible.
When individuals in the Houston area are suffering from symptoms of sciatica the first step to take should be to contact the medical team at Gulf Coast Spine Care. With the new identification methods now available for an accurate diagnosis coupled with effective surgical treatments available, Gulf Coast Spine Care can help.
