Non-Surgical Relief for Sharp, Radiating Leg & Back Pain | IROSM & Dr. Erdman
That Shooting Pain Isn’t Just in Your Back. It’s Controlling Your Life
If you’re dealing with sciatica or nerve pain, you already know this isn’t just an occasional ache.
It’s electric, sharp, and often unpredictable.
Some days it shoots from your lower back down your leg, making it hard to walk, sit, or even sleep. Other days, it hits out of nowhere like when you bend over, get out of bed, or step out of your car.
You’ve probably tried painkillers, stretches, maybe even just “living with it.” But the flare-ups keep coming back.
At the Institute for Regenerative Orthopedics & Sports Medicine (IROSM) in Hialeah, we don’t just mask the pain we target the root cause and offer lasting relief.
Understand the Real Cause of Your Sciatica or Nerve Pain
Sciatica typically happens when something compresses or irritates your sciatic nerve the longest nerve in your body that runs from your lower spine down each leg.
Common Causes We Treat:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
- Degenerative disc disease
- Piriformis syndrome
- Spondylolisthesis (vertebra slipping out of place)
- Nerve root inflammation after surgery or injury
Before starting treatment, Dr. Michael Erdman and our team use advanced diagnostics and imaging (MRI, ultrasound, physical nerve testing) to pinpoint the exact source of your pain.
Proven, Non-Surgical Sciatica Treatments We Offer
Once we identify the cause, we’ll build a personalized plan that’s focused on relieving pressure on your nerve and stopping the pain at its source.
Our Sciatica Treatment Options at IROSM:
✅ Image-Guided Epidural Steroid Injections
Reduces inflammation around the irritated nerve root for fast, targeted relief.
✅ Selective Nerve Root Blocks
Diagnostic and therapeutic injections that pinpoint and calm the affected nerve.
✅ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
For chronic cases, RFA helps “turn down” pain signals from overactive nerves without surgery.
✅ Non-Opioid Medication Management
We use short-term anti-inflammatories, nerve stabilizers, and other non-opioid options to break the pain cycle safely.
✅ Physical Therapy Referrals
For certain patients, we coordinate with physical therapists for nerve gliding exercises, lumbar stabilization, and postural correction to prevent recurrence.
