What is Sciatica?

Sciatica is pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in your body, running from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. When this nerve is compressed or irritated, you can experience pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness anywhere along its path.

The good news? Most sciatica responds well to non-surgical treatment. Dr. Mayfield has spent over 31 years helping Shreveport patients find lasting relief.
