Leg Pain
Personalized Pain Relief Designed for You
Understanding and Treating Leg Pain
in Evans and Augusta, GA
Leg pain can stem from various causes, from acute injuries to chronic conditions that affect mobility and overall well-being. While some cases improve with rest, others require specialized care to prevent long-term discomfort and limitations. At FX Spine & Pain Center, we take a personalized approach to diagnosing and treating leg pain, ensuring you receive the right care for your unique needs.
What Causes Leg Pain?
Leg pain can arise from structural damage, nerve dysfunction, or circulatory issues. Common causes include:
- Arthritis and degenerative joint conditions – Wear and tear on the joints leading to pain and stiffness.
- Nerve compression or damage – Sciatica, pinched nerves, or neuropathy affecting leg function.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – Blood clots that can cause swelling and pain.
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD) – Reduced blood flow to the legs leading to cramping and discomfort.
- Bone infections or tumors – Less common but serious conditions requiring prompt medical attention.
What Is Sciatica?
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—is irritated or compressed, often due to conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. This results in radiating pain from the lower back through the buttocks and down the leg, sometimes accompanied by numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
How Is Leg Pain Treated?
At FX Spine & Pain Center, we specialize in non-surgical, interventional pain management techniques designed to target the source of your pain and restore function. Depending on your condition, your customized treatment plan may include:
- Epidural Steroid Injections – Reduce inflammation and pressure on spinal nerves.
- Transforaminal Epidural Injections – Precisely target irritated nerve roots for focused pain relief.
- Lumbar Sympathetic Block – Alleviates nerve-related leg pain, particularly for conditions like Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
Can Spinal Cord Stimulation Help?
For severe, treatment-resistant leg pain, Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) may offer significant relief. This advanced therapy uses a small implanted device that delivers mild electrical pulses to disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, reducing discomfort and improving quality of life.
Does FX Neuromuscular Therapy Help with Leg Pain?
Yes! FX Neuromuscular Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to retrain nerve-to-muscle connections, helping to restore movement, improve performance, and relieve chronic pain. By optimizing neuromuscular function, we help patients regain mobility and get back to doing what they love—pain-free.
