Solving the Root Cause—Not Just Treating Your Symptoms
Why Sciatica Demands the Best
The most important step to eliminating sciatica is pinpointing the specific cause. Far too often doctors rush to pills and injections without taking the time to know what’s causing your sciatica. More than half of the battle is pinpointing the specific source of your pain. Once we know that, we know exactly what to treat and how to treat it.
Listen to Dr. Matthew Peterson, MD discuss just how detailed he gets to pinpoint the exact cause of sciatica symptoms.
Once we’ve identified the source, we can decide the perfect treatment plan for your body.
This is why patients travel from across the world to receive a diagnosis at Compass Pain and Wellness.

The treatment plan was straightforward. A single adjustment to one element of my plan was a revelation. After 6 doctors and other modalities, this simple tweak changed my world & the way I functioned in it.

An Amazing Story of Recovery
I always heard people say “get a second opinion.”
After working in healthcare the past ten years, I’ll tell you…
It’s more like get 10 opinions.
Without the inside knowledge, picking a doctor is like rolling the dice.
We founded Compass to change all that.
Period.

Regenerative Medicine for the Treatment of Sciatica with Orthobiologics
It’s easy for physicians to miss the complex contributors to sciatic pain.
As a functional unit, the spine supports our bodies through flexion, extension, and twisting movements. With injury and age this unit can become weak or damaged, putting pressure on our sciatic nerve.
Steroids and medications may help sciatica symptoms but will do nothing to heal the anatomy and solve the root of the problem.
Regenerative medicine—like PRP and cellular therapy—is a game-changer. With these tools, we can strengthen instabilities in tendons and joints, and repair discs, to return the spinal anatomy to optimal function. This eliminates pressure on the sciatic nerve, and solving the root of your symptoms.
Understanding Sciatica
Sciatica is a general term for pain involving the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body—exiting the L4-S1 segment of the lumbar spine and traveling through the glutes, down the leg, and into the foot.
The source of sciatic pain could be anywhere along this journey—from a protruding disc in your lumbar spine, to chemical irritation in your foramen, to muscle-plane tension in your thigh. It may even be caused by your sacroiliac (SI) joint—totally unrelated to your sciatic nerve.
When the sciatic nerve gets irritated it can cause a variety of symptoms including sharp or burning pain radiating from the lower back through the glutes or down the leg, often accompanied by numbness and weakness in the leg or foot.
Why the Right Sciatica Diagnosis Matters
Because the sciatic nerve is so long, and the symptoms are so varied, sciatica can have many causes that need to be carefully ruled out to find the right treatment for you.
You need a structure-specific diagnostic workup to address each possible cause of your sciatica symptoms. Once we know the cause, we then work together to design the right treatment plan.
Treating Sciatica the Right Way
There’s not one perfect treatment for sciatica. The right treatment always starts with the right diagnosis. Often multiple layers of different modalities are necessary to first tackle your symptoms and next, repair your body so your symptoms don’t return.
Doctors are often good at first line defenses, like steroid injections and medications. These can be great at addressing the symptoms of sciatica but do little to address the underlying causes.
Whole Body Wellness
At Compass, we take a global-approach to sciatica treatment, understanding how your body works in total, not in isolation, to address the root-cause of your sciatica symptoms.
The right treatment starts with the right diagnosis. Compass will guide you every step of the way, with everything under one roof, under the direction of you and your doctor.
Chemical Irritation
If the source of your sciatica is chemical irritation, steroid injections can calm the joint space and lower inflammatory responses in the sciatic nerve
Mechanical Pressure
If mechanical pressure is contributing to your sciatica, we can identify the specific source of this pressure and open a path for the nerve to travel freely
- Hydrodissection can quickly open spaces in your muscle

Instability
When the spine is unstable, regenerative medicine can heal instability, allowing your body to return to its pre-injury state and support normal function of the sciatic nerve.
Strength
Physical therapy can traction the spine to remove pressure from your sciatic nerve, and long-term can help strengthen and realign the body to move correctly.Inflammation
Energy-based medicine like PEMF and photobiomodulation (red light therapy) can help reduce inflammation in the body and encourage calming of your sciatic nerve.
