About this procedure
A focused spine treatment pathway in Queretaro
Sciatica is nerve pain that travels from the lower back or buttock into the leg. It is a symptom rather than a single diagnosis, commonly related to a herniated disc, spinal stenosis or another source of nerve compression.
Who may be a candidate?
Patients should seek specialist review when leg pain is severe, persistent, recurrent, associated with numbness or weakness, or when symptoms have not improved with appropriate nonsurgical care.
Why consider Queretaro for this procedure?
For US patients, Queretaro can provide a focused spine evaluation, imaging review and bilingual coordination for conservative care, injections or surgical decompression when appropriate.
Recovery planning for international patients
The recovery plan depends on the cause of sciatica. Patients traveling for care need clear medication instructions, walking guidelines and a safe travel plan after treatment.
What patients should bring to the first review
- Recent MRI, CT scan, X-rays or written radiology reports when available.
- A short timeline of symptoms, prior injections, therapy, medications and previous surgeries.
- A list of current medications, allergies and relevant medical conditions.
- Clear goals for the consultation, including pain relief, mobility, return to work and travel timing.
