Part 3-3 Sciatica: Treatment with neurosurgery abroad: MedTalk Podcast

Find out if it is possible to identify if sciatica requires a visit to the neurosurgeon and what treatments can offer. In part 3 we are joined by Dr. Heberseleth Valdivia, a neurosurgeon. Don't miss our season finale, where we learned everything there is to know about sciatica, the treatments, and surgical approaches that physiotherapy, orthopedics, and neurosurgery can offer.

Dr. Valdivia discusses red flags indicating potential nerve compression or severe damage, such as progressive weakness, loss of bowel or bladder control, or persistent symptoms despite conservative measures. Identifying when sciatica requires neurosurgical intervention involves careful assessment of symptoms, diagnostic findings, and response to conservative treatments.

Most common symptoms of sciatica:

Weakness in the leg, stabbing pain, tingling sensation, back pain extending to the buttocks, thighs, legs and feet

Recovering from surgery can be a challenging and sometimes painful process, but with the right support, you can make the journey to wellness smoother and more comfortable. One essential tool that can aid in post-surgery recovery is the Axelrod Orthopedic Bed Wedge Pillow Set.
