Non-Surgical Sciatica & Nerve Pain Relief in Folsom
Calm the inflammation around an irritated sciatic nerve and address the surrounding tissue that keeps compressing it.
- No surgery, no general anesthesia
- Same-day, in-office procedure
- Targeted to the compression site
Most evaluations are scheduled within 48 hours.
Where sciatic pain actually starts
The pain travels down the leg, but the problem sits where the nerve is compressed.
Sciatica has a signature
Sciatic pain follows the nerve. If your symptoms match this pattern, the source is usually higher up than where you feel it.
Burning down the leg
Sharp, electric pain running from the buttock through the back of the thigh.
Numbness or tingling
Pins and needles in the calf, foot, or toes, often worse at night.
Weakness when standing
The leg feels unreliable, or your foot catches when you walk.
Worse sitting, worse driving
Twenty minutes in a car seat sets off the whole leg.
Numbing the nerve doesn’t decompress it
Steroid epidurals are useful and sometimes necessary. The limitation is what they leave unaddressed.
Standard management
- Epidural steroids reduce inflammation temporarily without altering the compressing tissue.
- Repeat steroid exposure is limited by cumulative dose concerns.
- Nerve medications treat the signal and commonly cause drowsiness and brain fog.
- Discectomy is effective for the right candidate but carries surgical and re-herniation risk.
Regenerative approach
- Injections placed around the specific compression site rather than flooding a whole region.
- The aim is to reduce the inflammatory load on the nerve and support surrounding tissue.
- No sedation, no incision, no post-surgical restrictions.
- Can be used alongside physical therapy rather than instead of it.
Two therapies for irritated nerves
Sciatica is an inflammation problem as much as a mechanical one, so the protocol usually addresses both.
Prolozone Therapy
Oxygen-ozone injections used around the compressed nerve and the tissue surrounding it, with the goal of reducing local inflammation and improving oxygenation.

An oral therapy used to modulate neuro-inflammation, often combined with injections for patients whose nerve pain has become chronic and centrally driven.

We map where along the nerve your symptoms originate before recommending anything.
Red flags come first. Progressive weakness, foot drop, or any change in bladder or bowel control needs emergency assessment today — not an injection appointment.
- Sciatic nerve irritation from a disc bulge
- Piriformis syndrome and deep gluteal compression
- Radiating leg pain lasting more than six weeks
- Epidurals that help briefly then wear off
- Nerve pain that persists after back surgery
Three steps from evaluation to recovery
Nerve pathway mapping
We trace your symptom pattern, test reflexes and strength, and review imaging to locate where the nerve is actually being irritated.
Targeted regenerative injection
Treatment delivered to the compression site and surrounding tissue under imaging guidance.
Long-term decompression
Movement and loading work that addresses the mechanics keeping pressure on the nerve.
Your questions, answered
Some patients notice a change within the first week or two, but nerve tissue is slow to settle and a realistic window is several weeks across a short series of treatments. Symptoms often improve in a pattern — the pain retreats up the leg toward the source before it fully resolves.
The skin and tissue are numbed first. Most patients describe pressure and a brief ache rather than sharp pain. Some temporary soreness afterward is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Both are common and they can feel almost identical. Piriformis and deep gluteal compression mimic disc-related sciatica closely. Distinguishing between them is a core part of the evaluation, because treating the wrong site produces disappointing results.
Often yes. Persistent nerve pain after discectomy or fusion is a common reason patients come to us. We’ll want your operative report and recent imaging before deciding.
Not usually, but bring a complete list. Blood thinners in particular affect injection planning and need to be discussed with your prescribing physician before treatment.
